Those bottles look like the ones they used for shampoo that the pharmacy use to fill .

Not sure what building this was taken in if i knew i could tell you what it was . Probally a dayhall for an old Chronic ward or maybe TB unit .

The Salmon building use to be maximuim security until 1972 at Norwich Hospital . They closed that and moved the dangerous clients to Middletown Whiting Forensic .

This is the old administration building . All the records when they closed the place were shredded Ronnie . Depends where your aunt was etc .

As a child in the 1960's I remember my poor mother going in and out of Norwich State Hospital. My mother had a thick Brazilian accent as well as mental illness and emotional instability. She always told us horror stories of receiving electro shock therapy as well as being put in a bathtub filled with ice. Any pictures of the hospital reminds me only of her deep suffering there. Because us kids were so young we were only able to wave at our mother up in a window. How sad. I don't believe she received very much compassion there.

Whenever I'm heading to Mohegan (right across the river) you can really see how huge the place is. I'm suprised that they built it so close to the water incase someone got loose.

I've always known that men's rooms are not as clean as the lady's room.

There is a very prominent rumor that when the place was shut down, the patients were released and left to wander the streets of norwich.

I can't believe that it won't be there for much longer! I wish there was some way I could remove the fireplace and transplant it into my house, LoL.

As for the secure bathroom. were it not secured people would escape. At Danvers we had two gys rip a fan that was installed in the bathroom window, out of the wall and escape theough the hole. Can't be too careful.

Em, there's no time like right now. ;-)

I have photos of Kettle, just need to put them up at some point...
