I know they put the "grip strip" on the stairs for safety but it sure does tarnish the beauty of the marble.

Wow, thanks for the nice gallery. And it makes me ill that corporations want to tear down such beautiful structures. Clearly at least part of this building (the administration) could be re-used, rather than torn down. It would make a lovely bank! Of course, I like the state its in now, but I'd rather it be reused than torn down. I'm just absolutely sick over Danvers and Dixmont. These people make me want to puke.

Wow, nice! I love those old medicine bottles. Found one once while triapsing through the woods looking for remnants of this old school that had once been there..

Very cool shot.

You're right, Pb, it really does...

Oh Lynne, we need you! Why would they have mesh doors like this? I mean, I see some benefit to it but I have to admit it seems archaic.

Well, I guess that's where I'd put my bed...

Very neat shot will all the moss.

Wow, that fireplace is magnificent! And thanks for the translation Bri, I've completely forgotten my Latin : / ...all I remember is the conjugation of "silva" or forest...silva, silvae, silvae, silva, silvum, silvis, silvorum....etc....err something like that. I also remember puella, "girl" or something like that. :P

Wow, those staircases are absolutely gorgeous. When did this place close? It looks immaculate...perhaps due to the booby traps, but nonetheless...

I just found out about the new pics on OJ as well.

This is a beautiful set, really touched me. I will appreciate my nice warm bed and soft pillows tonight, that is for sure.

So, that's probably who these rooms and such were for...the criminally insane? That makes more sense! Thanks, StareGirl!

This reminds me of a (now closed) local state hospital. Years ago part of it was converted for the criminally insane.

I really like the way the moss is growing out of the fixtures into the empty part of the room.

how many hands in the dark of night clutched those bedpost's in fear, as their minds sink into dementia...

I used to have one of those too. And I had the caboose. This one doesn't look old or faded, except for the sticker.
