This is one of the most amazing photos I've seen on your site, and that's really saying something. I was all set to request a wallpaper version when I saw that you had already made one. Absolutely mind blowing.

Such a beautiful shot. Looks like an old engraving. Why do they have to destroy such beautiful buildings? Surely they could live again in some capacity.

I remember being a child and visiting my father at Worcester state. It has haunted me for years.

I worked here in the 1970's. While some of the psychiatric staff were brilliant and innovative, it was often difficult to tell the old-time line staff from the patients (by the keys! you identify who is who by the keys!). The place was indeed creepy- little happened in the "old section" even at that time, but there was a sheltered workshop housed in that ancient area. The wind blowing made the creepiest sounds, and the "tombs" were visible through little arched windows that rose above the baseboards on the first floor.
I have often thought this would be a stunning movie set, and that the Commonwealth missed the boat in not leasing it out- frequently.

Was there ever a connecting building behind this? Looks like it was demolished and sealed up with brick.

This place is haunted I live up the street and worked at the Beechwood hotel. every now and then I would be outside smoking a butt at break time and some times I would hear screams so haunting that would leave chills on my arms. I also worked at night as a housekeeper. love this pic they messed up should have leased the place. should have called Ghost Hunters.
