The only true building standing now is the clock tower. The building off to the right has/ is being demolished. The only thing they're actually leaving up is the clock tower because it's being preserved. Everything else is being torn down after many of the buildings were declared structurally unsound. Any attempts to go onto or in the buildings are prohibited , and if you go inside, you'll most likely be arrested by police when you come out. Neighbors watch the area closely, so there's really no way to sneak in. The clock tower itself is falling apart, so it would be unwise to venture inside. I attend Worcester Technical High School and the remenants of the asylum are visible from our top floor library. As a resident of Worcester, I'm sad to see the original hospital destroyed. However, it would have cost much more money to renovate the place than to tear it down.
