I was actually searching on the floor for a soap dispenser. That is, until I realised who said that. :P

"Once a Wal-mart has generated enough business they can then afford to build a bigger, better "Super Wal-mart". However, instead of simply demolishng or expanding the old building, it is left abandoned. The new building is built usually within a couple miles of the old one. "

yeah I would have to agree, I really need a door to close me in to be able to handle my business, I would never go, I would just eventually explode!

its no fair that it has to go.. it one of the best placed to investigate and there is so much history in there... i really hope that the new walmart is haunted... they are destroying a grave and all... since people obviously died there.

Perhaps all the light projecting through the rooms as seen by the shot here helped reduce the moisture enough with the heat and rays of the sun to slow the peeling there as where the hall being so shadowed was not so lucky

i love your site and i love the pics of dixmont. i drove by it on route 65 so many times but never saw it cause it was up on a hill and i always wanted to see it. ever since watching fear on mtv i always wanted to go see dixmont since i live in pittsburgh. what a beautiful building it was and is. yes destruction has begun, the smoke stack along rte. 65 was the first to come down, and the trees that use to hide it also. now you can see it from the road when you drive by. but i don't know if the building was torn down yet. thank you so much for making this site. now i know what it looked like. and i am so mad that you got to go and i did'nt.

*sigh* I bet that safe is in a dump in a pile of rubble. :( It belongs on display down at the Heinz Regional History Museum. They should have made an effort to create a Dixmont exhibt like the above poster mentioned. The historical signifigance is so great it turns my stomach to know that it will all be forgotten and swept away in time. Kids will see the retail store in the place of the hospital never realizing that they are on land that is as signifigant as a civil war battleground. Greed makes me ill.

It's good that she is doing much better. I applaud her for her bravery, and my prayers will continue for her family and friends, BT!
