Fab pictures and such shame that buildings as great as this one are left to rot through rack and ruin. These structures are a testament to our forgotten heritage and what once made us proud.

Clock Tower Staircase

Pretty risky. Looks like quite a fall if the structure decided to give way.

First Impressions

My father played in the show band for many years. I met all the acts as a kid. I remember hanging backstage. What a shame for ALL the hotels.

Morgue

Lee

Speaking of Danvers State Hospital, I worked right next to therea few times and took a look around in there. There are a lot of factors that make a place like that make the hairs on your neck stand up. First, the look of the place, such as the morgue, and the halls. Then there's the odd feeling when you think about the things that went on in there... I know 2 people that were released from there. The stories..... I'll leave it at that. Nothing to take lightly. But a great place to get the crap scared out of you.

What Is Left

Lee

Your photography is brilliant. I recently found another site that had a bunch of exterior pictures of this place which did this beatiful kirkbride building no justice at all. Their photos almost made the building appear like a low class dump. I am able to appreciate the artistic vision and detail of your photos more than I already did after finding that other website.

p.s there are many scans of old beautiful postcards of this place on the official worcester MA website - if anyone wants to go look at them.

Wide Hallway

Does anyone know what the strange light is in the right side doorway? It looks odd and unlike a "normal" reflection...

Sadly, this reminds me of a female suicide that's been hanging for a long time.

Robert Ballard should come here. He can't walk around on the TITANIC but this would be just as good.

Great picture. Reminds me of the deck of the TITANIC.

Death Gurney

Lee

There is a type in use now that looks like a hospital bed. The body lays on a tray like the one on the guerney pictured above, but a hollow "mattress" covers the body. You could be in the lift beside this "bed" and never know it contained a deceased patient.
