	B the light is rushing in so powerfully, kind of gives you the feeling that your in the room and somethings behind you.

	B this picture is a great paradox of itself. bright, red flowers lay upon an abandoned and aged flooring.

	B looks lonely

	B suggests the trapped feeling of the patients possibly?

	B heh, like the band Iron Maiden states from their song Wasted Years... "As soon as your born, your dying". yeah, we live, we die. my dad is a funeral director and owns the place, how do you think i feel?? and gee, no cop can harm me either because i have semi full access to all the rooms in his parlor. im still waiting to drive the hearse though... :D

	B i dont know if anyone already mentioned this or not, but the location of the Salem Witch Trials HAPPENED on Hathorne Hill, the same EXACT location as DSH. its disturbing to see those 2 marks of history go hand and hand, and both of which the killings of innocent people...

	B its crazy on how many insane asylums were in Mass. its sad that just a little over 100 years as a country, were building asylums.

	B id love to have my own Kirkbride building and have it completely redone to when it was first built. its sad to see the building gone and demolished. some buildings deserve to be torn down, but this one deserved to be fully restored, preserved, and reactivated whenever anything like this ever happened again. God only knows when we will have a long line of mentally unstable people again...

	B unfortunately that stack is slowly falling over, and if it does and including if there is anyone around it could get hurt

b I don't know if everyone realizes that this place has over 30+ buildings including group homes that are still active to this day. It is NOT completely shut down yet. Not to mention MSP train there with dogs and 911 training center for the state. I would'nt want to get caught in there. It is a rather interesting place to go for a walk during the day ...night no way. Asking for trouble. I do like the pics though. :)

	b fellheimer and wagner were the architects; they had an office in nyc. they subsequently designed a terminal in cincinnati, which is now the cincy museum. the terminal was made for speed and ease of movement or railway traffic....but opening in june of '29, it never got a chance... -b
