Scarred

Traversing the building under the cracked and flaking ceiling felt like swimming under a thawing pond full of ice... luckily the floors were still stable (for the most part).

How big was the room? It looks like it would be long and narrow

Looks like they have one of those security cameras there in the ceiling, they're watching you! :)

Great shot. Looks a lot like some of the wards at Danvers.

I loved the smell of Morphine in the morning.

I think I'm going to make it my primary life goal to never have to live in a building that requires bars on the windows. Regardless of whether they are keeping me in, or something else out. :-/

As a teenager I worked at a camp for handicapped children behind the State Hospital in 1977. A co-worker and I would occasionally go into the hospital to go to the commisary to buy cans of soda. The color of the walls in this photo just brought that creepy experience rushing back!

@Meg-It's a small world! I also worked at that same summer camp for Mentally Retarded children and adults behind Worcester State Hospital, but at another time, years later. It was called Camp Joy. I did a lot of music with the clients. I even composed a song that whole camp sang as a tribute to Carl Gordon, its benefactor. I can still recall everyone singing, "Carl Gordon, we thank you!" He appreciated the song, and had tears in his eyes. It was a fun summer job as a student. Also, I have always loved the architecture of WSH. Too bad most of it is gone.
