I worked for a time in the female unit at danvers state- what a beautiful building- i have been living in another state for many years and did not know that it is gone- for what , some ugly apartments- it is such a shame that what once served the community and those patients has gone to erecting apartments- i remember those ladies on that unit not all but a few and what they needed and still probably needed was danvers state and the help that was given to them by the staff and by the community-

actually this room was not for patients. We used this room for mops, cleaning supplies and stuff like that. In the early days, patients actually were the ones who did the cleaning.
