The last intact Kirkbride building in Massachusetts is being torn down in Taunton. Although a fire ravaged the central administration portion of the building, the rest of the structure was intact and held some fantastic scenes as well as wonderful vintage objects from its past. It will sorely be missed (but not the anti-climb fence).

I understand that people often do the wrong thing in abandoned buildings, and aren't often careful, but people will do the wrong thing wherever they can and are quite often unsafe, so I don't see why these places have to be torn down for that reason. :(

how sad for all.
But you are keeping those places in memories with your beautiful pictures!!! Gongratulation!

Not sure how the hole formed, perhaps someone put their foot through the soft floor.
This is such a great place.
And it is not like other money bound place, the information here is very useful.
I am definitely bookmarking it as well as sharin it with my friends.

I love your work, but I do miss the stellar titles you has on the photos.
Motts, have you seen this site? It is heartbreaking and interesting also. They all had a story to tell but didn't get the chance or were unable to communicate well enough to tell it.
At least you've given us all something to look at; a glimpse at we all wish we could have gotten to see in person. :)
thank you extremely much
So sad to see the destruction process. All the recent photos make one believe that the hospital was always in disrepair but it was not. Back in the 70's I strolled the campus above ground and below when weather demanded it. The head of TSH was a very kind man and lived on the grounds in a very unique home. Rest in peace.
