Thanks! This hospital was around 800 acres and contained over 100 buildings. The power plant was actually originally used to burn coal, but then was converted to burn fuel.

How much of that massive campus remains?

Id say around 90 percent. A few of the worse condition buildings were demolished a few years ago but the main hospitals are still standing. This power plant used to have a coal stack which was also demolished. 1. (Not my photo)

Yes there are 2 full sized hospitals and some smaller buildings that held more dangerous patients. Im not sure about examination rooms but I know there is a morgue. I think I heard something about the morgue being closed off for a while but then someone made a new entrance but I'm not sure, I didn't really look for it. I go here at least once a week as I'm only 10 minutes away. The park is closed from dusk to dawn so if you wanted to go at night you would need to park off grounds!

Thanks! Only been to Massachusetts once but that was before I got into this kind of thing. I did see some whales though!

I have been in this building! It looked familiar, when I saw the removable floor sections I knew for sure. Gotta be careful exploring on those top floors at night, that would not be a fun fall. I will have to post some pictures I took there later today when I get home.
