This looks like the doorway to some bizarre fantasy world that most people would probably *not* want to enter...

Are the wide radius corners found in all Kirkbride buildings or are the unique to Danvers?

I've seen them in many Kirkbride buildings, I'm not sure if they are a standard form of their construction though.

I wonder why there are two flat (whatch-ya-ma-call-its?)Brass hand panels, to push the door open....One is very low. (for very short people?) I can see if thats to prevent a wheelchair from scratching the door, but the wood border is more likely to get hit before that....????....I just thought it looked a bit odd there...

Wheelchairs, and so that you can push it open with your foot, if your arms are..full.

i get the feeling that is the doorway to certain doom

A feeling of certain doom? Surely "Certain Doom" would inspire more than a FEELING?

I mean, if I even HEAR a creak in my house at night, i go into "fight or flight" mode.

Put it this way, if I see doom looking a bunny rabbit, does that make me insane?

If I HEAR a creak in my house at night, I grab my .45 ;-)

Tony C., It is lower for those nights when you are crawling home wasted. (hehe)
Thomas Covenant, I think Runny Babbits have very sharp nasty teeth, and the one from Monty Phython is really deadly, is it not?

You must be a real pussy if you are scared of household creaks. And yes, you may well be insane.

Motts, you are the master of light and shadow. Always wish I could've gone up and seen it myself, but your pics do it justice; heavy on the atmosphere.

Humm...not so much now lol. Something about how that door swings in ... odd.

They used different colors so people would not go insane with white walls. You would feel things closing in on you and eventully end up insane....although some were, others were not

When a person loses his or her freedom it does strange things to them. How lonely it must have been when the door closed behind them...
