Motts: Have you ever gotten hurt going into these buildings? The floors don't look safe one bit.

I want to go to this place so I can have this photograph. Its beautiful!

I just love this picture.

Hey is this in Massachusetts?

The door probably is so swollen that it sticks open today. I doubt that the hinges are in very good condition either.

HEY THATS ONE OF THE BUILDING THAT BELONGS TO THE STATE SCHOOL. MY AUNT WORKED AT ONE OF THESE BUILDINGS.I THINK IT WAS THIS BUILDING

my dad had to work there by him self he even said that he herd nowies in the basment and i went in there and it gave me the creeps even when i went to school in berkshiere and tadgell it was so creepy i would origanz my desk then i would go out to resses or to lunch or go some where then it would be messy again some times i would go home sleep go to school and my pappers where towrn off the walls and dooprs in all girls bathrooms would slame shut mirros would be off walls

my uncle went there my family took him out because they treated him un fairly

These seats have beautiful detail, but don't look too comfortable. Not a lot of leg room for the tall folks, though since this was a school, that probably didn't matter much...

that is a really creepy picture

I do wonder why it was left open though

I worked at BSS from 1970 til 1984. When I first started working there, there were over 1500 residents and less than 500 staff for 24 hour care 365 days out of the year. When I left in '84', there were less than 500 residents and over 1500 staff. I am proud to have been part of the process that set these people free.

I bet that EXIT was hardly ever used by those residents.

the door says fire exit keep closed

there are 2 faces in this photo one in each window of the doors one looks male and the other look female
