Mr Motts, you've outdone yourself here. If I were gona give this pic a title, I'd title it "THE RAPTURE" Awsome

WHAT A VIEW!!!! NICE!!!!

Welp, Mr Busted, Maybe u won't say it, but I will. Wal-Mart is THE GREAT SATEN of the world!!!!!
This Co. has ruined the area that I live in. You'll not see them consttucting great buildings like Mr. Motts Photos. Can u see a "Motts JR." going in and photoing a Wal-Mart Ruin years from now???

Lynne, Thanks for all the links. I know its been quite sometime since u posted, but this is my first time in this Gallery. I shall investigate.

I didn't know if I should comment because I am so late getting here. I mean all the others are 05 and 06 and now it's 07. Then I reach the one by Doctor DETH, and now I don't feel so bad. See, Mr. Motts, years later people are still enjoying it for the first time.

ah.
that is not cool.
it seriously is going to give me nightmares tonight.
thanks motts. thanks.

its a shame that they tore this place down. i would have loved to gone here, it looks amazing. And for a walmart this universe doesnt need another walmart. walmart is the antichrist...and not the cool one. T_T

A girl name Kate Guerriero is putting togeather a clean up for the cemetery on the 26th of may. She's the producer of her Dixmont documentary; which is very good!

They still can't stop the landslide--and it's been since September! One lane of Route 65 is still closed. I think Wal-Mart lost out.

As a resident of Dixmont from 1946 to 1965 Dixmont was a official post office untill 1950 hence the redundant sounding address on the safe. The PO building was along Rt 88 and received & sent mail on the train with out the train stopping.

It looks like your standing in the depths of darkness and there just out of reach isHaven and hope. Just like a true hospital.

A very poetic pic.

They did in fact do and practice lobotomy at this place. There is a local program called on Q based out of Pittsburgh that has taken a nurse who used to work there back to that place. She spoke of some of the things they did there and things she saw. So I would say it is not to far fetched to think perhaps those things did happen in such rooms.

Not that it matters now, but Dixmont WAS designated a National Historic Landmark. If you look on the Dixmont Hospital site, there is a photo of the front of Reed Hall showing the plaque. The owner of the property was able to have it removed from the list due to the damage the building had suffered. I will miss it as much as anyone, (having visited there several times while it was still active), but maybe she needed to be finally put to rest. The indignity she suffered was criminal.

Yea, the state came up with some bright idea, that they can't afford the state hospital anymore (to busy giving themselves 17% raises in the middle of the night), so they closed down these hospitals ant let all the EDP's out into society with the normal people, so they can deal with them !!!!!!!

Wow, what a difference.
