Nature has done a pretty good job of reclaiming it - I doubt there were 30-foot trees peeping above the walls when it was in use!

And a beautiful building, which will finally be at peace very soon, returned to dust, her work all done. Those rays look as though they're calling Dixmont and the ghosts of all who resided here back home...

Yes, time, mother nature, and fire have done a number on the back side of the main entrance. Very sad.

The comments made are so deep and true. I couldn't have described it better myself.
The pictures are so good you can feel the spirit in them.

You know, they tore this beuttiful(meaning looking wise) building down to build another Wal-Mart of which we have over 1000 of. We only had one Dixmont and now we will never get it back! ; ( True, many bad memories happened here but it was still a historical landmark. And now they aren't even going to build stupid Wal-Mart! (Poor, unloved souls)

Does anyone know what becomes of the brick when these places are torn down? Is it sold to be used to build other buildings? I love old brick work, and whenever I see these huge brick buildings torn down, I always have wondered where the bricks end up.

I have a recovered Dixmont brick in my room! Most of the time bricks and blocks from demo'd buildings are sold as clean fill for contractors leveling land.
