the stuff of dreams- at this point, they can either go good or bad depending on the turn you take..

great pics, i use to work down the hill at hogan for 5 years and was all fascinated with the old hospital

Wow, I missed this one how? From here it looks like it's still in use. You can't see any holes in the roof.

danvers state is an amazing place to visit, i had the luck of going up there in august while 1/2 of the watch guards were off duty. we never made it inside but just standing on the steps looking directly in the face of the kirkbride building is amazing.

p.s. i live a 3-4 minute driver from dsh, i know many idiots who try to get up there during halloween and get caught, so DONT, its bad.

I live directly next to DHS and I her stuff in the nite

Beautiful photograph. It's amazing!

gorgeous photo, keep up the good work!

Gothic.

I check the Danvers websites almost every day to check on the demolition. I don't know why I do it, it makes me sick that they are destroying most of the Kirkbride. Absolute insanity!

I almost wish I was insane just to be there. The beautiful Archtecture of this edifice leaves little to be desired by the romantic or gothic structure seeking ilk. I wish i could see the inside of this amazing building... I'm not so afraid I think :)

Destroying this lovely, irreplaceable building? I think all the nuts are in politics!!

I have watched this building all my life . i see it every time i pass on the highway. If they turned the existing hospital into condos they could have sold them for double. i think the interest peple have in the building would have had buyers lined up. It's just such a shame to see it now.

motts , dont take my kodachrome away!

Uhhhhhhhh!! What kinda stuff do you hear, ugh229?

I agree 100%, potofjoe!

not a dream come true for everyone

that picture is absolutely beautiful!! it's a shame they couldn't renovate the entire building.

this truly is a beautiful place . it reminds me of the midevil days.......

i was just checking in here when my wife called me to see the news there was a 4 alarm fire at danvers last night !

A very inspiring view... I'm upset I'll never get to see it in person :(

This is beautiful. I wish I could have seen it for myself.

I drove past it on my way to work a couple of mornings ago. It was foggy as hell. You could barely make out a mass on top of the hill. I remembered the many times I came out of the Bonner building, and seen the Kirkbride enveloped in fog. It's about 100 yards and you could barely see the building, the fog was so thick. I remember the feeling of the Kirkbride looming in the fog, barely contained menace, radiating from it. Then I catch myself and think that's a ridiculous way to think about it. Next foggy morning, it would happen all over again. On foggy nights the place was just that more spooky looking. The glow of the various lights that still burnt in the building. It was a scene out of a Lovecraft novel. But inside the Kirkbride, the place was just as normal a place as any other place of employment. None of the dread feelings you'd get from the outside.

wow I love to live here :)

I remember going to Smolak Farm picking apples and the inmates would also be there picking apples

Patients.

I have been there, visiting, I used to go there with friends at night drinking and smoking. Let me tell you I sobered up when I came around the corner and 50ft away, a dark figure in a white coat slowly closed a bulkhead. Never went back.

Was it a ghost?
