This shot reminds me of Danvers.
i remembered that one of those windows at night, the light would turn on and off. if you went to the door it would be shut and it was said that they never opened that door. also someone had told me there that a lady had died in that room and at times she would band the door. inside this same building sometimes the doors would close suddenly behind you once you entered. i used to get goosebumps.
Is the debris on the rooftops from the cupola brickwork breaking apart?
I think its the terra cotta shingles from the cupola roof.
Thank you for all these wonderful photos, the website and the memories revisited. I'm sitting here, being totally transported to another time and place. I was a student at PSH, graduated in 1972.. moved to Houston, Tx in 1982. Love this site.. and will send classmates here.. thanks...
all this could be restored and made into a wonderful university campus i think. to let all those wonderful structures deteriorate is a shame. the grounds should be revived in its authenticity instead of putting modern architecture into the countryside. it definitely should be deemed a historic site.
Beautiful. I love the bars on the windows and the vines crawling up the sides of the building.
very morbid
Well i go there a lot at lunch time, it is now a large wooded field called a nature walk.
THese photos are nothing but sadness. I had a family member there as a patient and would not be admitted there if we had the right medication as we do today. It still brings a great sadness. I would go as a young child to visit. Looking at the ohotos I question how many really needed to be there. It was a horrible place ........ terrible things happened there so dont look at it as a place to beused for anything other then what it was. It should be taken down . Building should be removed. It is extremely sad and scarey. I could cry seeing the young faces that spent their days there. God Bless them all.
are the buildings demolished i pass by all the time and see nothing in there
