Considering the harsh New England weather. This building has held up quite well. That cieling is in great shape, it should have fallen already. Nice architecture...

I'm with Bill, this place seems to have done remarkably well. I'm of the mind that although it was last used almost 30 years ago that it must have gotten maintained afterwards for several years.

It is amazing all of the thought and design that went into these buildings. Even knowing these places were mainly used to hide the mentally disturbed. Now these wonderful specimens of Architecture sit waiting to fade away... Once again, great shot Mr. Motts.

This room is awesome -- windows on both sides -- could be used as a roller rink. Great picture!!

Cool room. Reminds me of an airplane hangar for the curve of the ceiling.

it looks like these floors are tile, so youd be less likely to fall through, i think. this is a beatiful room. im surprised the color has lasted so long. well done

these builings are quietly beautiful. but tho empty, something is still there. whether its the total absence of sound or abandonment, the neglect, or rememberances of who used to be her I find it beautiful but eerie and slightly unsettling. Excellent photos though.

Hhmmm, it looks like a ballroom. . .highly unlikely but still. . .I agree it was probably an activities room of some sort.

I am an archer myself, the hall that we use in New Zealand is almost identical to this one, how funny you would say that as I was thinking the same thing!!! Great minds think alike I say.
