every single floor looked exactly the same, but we did end up going all the way up to the roof. it had a nice view, but you didn't miss much. i couldn't find the iron lungs in the newer buildings, and i was there for awhile. any hints? lol

Zigzag man! i was there yesterday, all the buildings are boarded up, except the theater and 2 other buildings. we got stopped by "security" but since we were mature and not kids they were fine about it. all they did was warn us of asbestos. we had backpacks, tripods, etc.

so...roll another "zigzag" or go on a green peace march or something

i actually went there yesterday with my father (who is also a photographer). very interesting place! i have some pictures of this same building and it has decayed much since you went (05 i think it said on the pic info) i saw the bowling alley, its right underneath you. its similar to the one at dever state school except in the basement. i love the hobby of urbex photography. unfortunately, i didn't get into it until about a year ago at the young age of 29 lol. i'm actually putting a book together on the subject and hopefully have it published soon! it will have pics and history of every place from Concord state (NH) to medfield to belchertown and the rest of new england!
