We have a Kirkbride building here in Columbia SC on 100 acres of land with so many buildings . its like a freakin city within a city behind a wall. They housed civil war patients there and I know when My company gets the job of demolishing those unhistoric buildings we are going to find some old historic shit.
SO I say bring im those excavators and lets start tearing up some shit cause I am ready for a treasure hunt!! BOOOYAAA
if u guys read the amazing book project 17 u would know that the people who stayed there were tortured as a way of "getting better" i hope thats not true because thats not even humane to torture someone with skitzo. its not there fault they see things that others dont thats not right.... its so wrong to do that .... i dont have a word for it
Great video Mike. I'm so sorry I never risked it to go in and see it for myself. I'm glad I got the shots I did tho for the book we were involved with. I'm going up today just to see it tho there's nothing left to see :(
What a shame it was demolished. It should have been preserved and renovated and used for something else. The building is kirkbridge design most buildings with kirkbridge design are gorges looking buildings.
@lilshane93 Totally agree, Danvers was a one of a kind building. I certainly wouldn't want to live there, so much pain and misery committed on that land.
Beautiful.

Most state hospitals take about 6 months to a year after the patients are gone to truly close facilities.

In 1993 it was still in decent shape, it could've been salvaged at this point.
