Posted by Adv.Pack Easiest thing would be to go and find the lack of these things you hope for.

but there is no lack of them at least not 4 years ago.

Great set --- I'm coming down in May to photograph a few of the old Kirkbrides (both abandoned and reno'd ones) in ME and MA -- I'd love to meet up and check this one out, if you'll take company from Canada... (I'm not bringing my pet beaver, don't worry)

There are no Kirkbride buildings here, or in the entire state of Massachusetts anymore.

The entire buildings aren't standing, but there are bits and pieces in both states.. I understand that the buildings themselves have mostly been demolished or re-purposed, but there are parts still there from what I've read?

Well there is definitely none of this

I still have yet to get into the old main hospital that has exam room with bleachers

There was an autopsy table, but never any observation bleachers.

... But even that is gone now.

Whoever told you that was misinformed. Both autopsy rooms are way too small to have ever had bleachers.

I am pretty sure it was in this building circled in the picture. I swear I can remember a room with no exam table but small circular bleachers about three deep. It was night and about 5 years ago so maybe I am mixing up my places.

Didn't you just say you never got over to that part?

Yes I am very paranoid about this place as it is one of the only ones I got close to being caught at. I know of people getting records from this place so I try and be overly cautious in including admitting to it on a forum, but when in Rome I suppose. I have not been back (inside) for a long time and probably will not unless of the impossibility of getting actual permission.

You must be mixing up places.

I love #10!

If this is the place that I think it is, I'm suddenly reminded to the fact that I have some exterior pictures of it that i've wanted to put up.

So it goes from not being inside, to being inside 5 years ago. Interesting how that works.

Secondly, there are parts of at least 2 kirkbrides in mass. Danvers and Worcester.

Worcester is 100% gone, the only thing left of Danvers is the walls of admin and 2 wards.

100%? You need to go back to google maps my friend. And Danvers was repurposed. That counts as more than just walls....

Oh really? Because google maps is definitely a live image. Admin was demoed last year.

Who said anything about admin? There's a rotunda that was left and one more nurses building I believe? So if you're on live maps you should see them.

The rotunda was demolished, and the nurses station is not part of the Kirkbride.

Posted by EsseXploreR The rotunda was demolished a few years ago and the nurses station is not part of the Kirkbride.

No, the rotunda is still there. Even your 'live maps' show it.

The turret is still there, with a memorial near it. I was just there a few months ago.
