The building still stands, however it is heavily patrolled by police and almost impossible to enter. Thank you for the great pictures! They're certainly fascinating for someone local who has always wanted to see the building in person

Was there last week... Still up.. Not demolished

One of the wings burned down a little while ago but the rest still stands. While its sketchy because the Hanson fire department said that its unstable and wont help if you fall through the floor its still a cool place to go minus the asbestus levels being the highest in years. There have also been claims that people have heard little girls laughing and stuff like that.

My Sister worked there for many years. She told me the place was always spooky. The residents were moved to Lakeville Hospital which also was closed. Under "privatization", the patients were then distributed to nursing homes. Most were children.

It hasn't been demolished! I just went today. It's mostly broken glass and graffiti now but still totally cool and not demolished.

It has not been demolished. The nurses quarters are currently being renovated to become the new Food Pantry for Hanson, Ma.

It hasn't been demolished. 4 teens were arrested there just this month.

The building is still standing. Although they have placed no trespassing signs all over the building and put up a locked fence. As if that is enough to keep people out...

And Lydia, yes you can still get into it.

The building is still intact.

Iceberg, Many old government and hospital buildings were built in a very formal style with entrances like this.
It's weird but this building reminds me of the Shelter building I was in at the Isolation Hospital. I think it was not as grand or tall as this. Just simple brick. regular size windows.

Why would they use or do shock therapy on T.B. patients to begin with? T.B. is mostly a respiratory illness, so how would that help treat or cure it? Everything I have read on T.B., nothing is brought up about that.

On another note, this building looks more like a military headquarters building than a hospital. The centered flag pole & the circle drive in front of it makes me think that. Neat looking place.

Did they do shock therapy on patients with TB

Donna souza,
From what I have found in my own searches each state has a legal procedure for the shut down of hospitals. Part of that procedure is the transfer and storage of the medical and other records of that hospital. I would start with the State health department of the state the hospital was in.
Good Luck

Would like to know for my mom ,myself and my aunt
