A beautiful, stately home by the water in a small bay town, this residential home for the Deaf has sat empty for quite some time. Damaged badly by a chemical explosion a few years ago, most of the building is still in tact but it seems construction crews have recently swept through and begun removing many elements from the building. It was lovely to see it again and take a few more photos but I have to assume it will be gone relatively soon.
The light fell just right on the beautiful anaglypta wallpaper on the staircase that was painted a lightly blue tinged white.
This shot had obviously been staged by another photographer but it was still a nice shot. The envelopes came from a file closet that once held patient information as far back as the early 1900's.

I used to drive by this building fairly often and would wonder about it - what it was, what it looked like inside, etc. I didn't even know it was abandoned. (This was before I ever did any real exploring.) Thanks for posting the pictures and giving me a chance to see a little of the inside.
My pleasure!
