Great shot. Looks a lot like some of the wards at Danvers.

Will, you've gotta realize that as much as havey's demolition sucks, they are turning the place into a beautiful environment. The houses are gonna blow, but over a hundred and fifty acres are being preserved just for green space. Beats the living hell outta Byberry.

Another awesome set man! I've gotta check this location out soon, looks incredible. I've heard rumors of homeless inside the prison building though...

I LOVE those contrasting colors on the walls and floor. The brown really sets the mood of this photo.

Master Electrode Selector

Mad Dawg

This electrode selector was beautiful. About two years ago it was still hooked up to the entire EEG machine, and rested comfortably in the basement until some little jackasses decided to toss it off the loading dock. Thankfully, a fellow brother of Haverford State managed to save this very electrode selector days before demolition commenced. His efforts should be commended!

Drains

Mad Dawg

What drip trays? There weren't any left at the beginning of '07 if you're talking about the slabs that were in the freezer. This morgue was probably one of the cleanest i've been in, (besides the obvious vandalism) and several HSH locals frequently cleaned the whole thing up. Crying shame that some assholes had to draw a massive penis and balls on the autopsy table in its final days.

Sanitizer

Mad Dawg

Yeah, you definetly wanted to sterilize the instruments in order to not contaminate future autopsies with blood/tissue from past postmortems. Makes perfect sense to me. As the saying went on 2/3/07, "at Haverford, we believe in health". hahahaha.

Lockdown Hall

Mad Dawg

Benz Boy, where was it trashed? If you went from the third floor up, some areas were pretty damned clean. I agree that the library and main lobby areas were fucked, but this building wasn't THAT bad. Ever go in Glenside? I once found remnants of a goddamned fire that had been set there.

Ok, STOP POSTING WHEN YOU'RE GOING!

Lovett still monitors the property, and probably also monitors this site as well. When will we all understand that THEY WILL be waiting for you when you go if you post times?

And no, this was looking south. If you looked right, it was west. This was taken from the roof of the south wing. I spent so many evenings on that rooftop watching the sun sink into the western sky. God i miss it so much.

Wash

Mad Dawg

It was indeed a hair salon. This was either located in one of the two geriatric wards, or the main Hilltop building.

So damn loud when we bowled there! I thought the cops would be rolling up any second.

Ah, good old building #10. I recently discovered a serving tray and ceramic plate buried under the muck behind where this building used to stand.

X-Ray

Mad Dawg

X-ray was one floor down on the main lobby floor in the north wing. If you took the main stairs up to the lobby, hung a right, and walked down the hall to the northeast wing, it was right down that hall on the left...

GOOD GOD, I CAN'T FORGET EVEN THE SMALLEST DETAILS!!!

The final night that a fraction of hilltop was standing was 1/17/08. Ironically, i was coming home after i had just finished up my HSH tattoo session, and noticed a tiny chunk of the north wing remaining. Something definetly felt weird, but i didn't think it was gonna be completely gone by the next day. I was STUNNED to drive by on the 18th and see nothing but a massive pile of rubble.

As of 1/17/08, it's all gone. I hate to see it gone, my first abandonment, the place i really cut my teeth as a photographer in, just gone...I'll never forget it, nor will us dedicated Havey "locals".

Thank you so much Mr Motts for getting here. This gallery and place opened up a whole new chapter in my life.

Turbine Hall Panorama

Mad Dawg

Stepping into this turbine hall not very long ago, i was in absolute awe of how massive it was. I don't think any picture can do it justice (although Mr. Motts's comes very close!), it's just something you have to see in person...
