The door to Building 17 was literally open for a matter of hours. It was the last building on the campus of Northampton State Hospital that I had yet to see the inside of. The building was largely unremarkable, save for this particular room with its beautiful archways and banks of windows on two walls. The lighting that day was low because of rain and fog, a typical setting on the top of Hospital Hill, but in Photoshop that lighting led to this finished photo, looking like a room that had contracted a bad case of toxic mold. Similar to how the patients who lived behind these walls were once viewed.

Great picture! I never got inside anything but the Kirkbride here. There were some other nice areas inside the other buildings like this one, but I've only seen them in other people's pictures.
It's always good to find pictures of the more rarely visited areas of these places. Thanks for sharing.
