Worcester State Hospital
Massachusetts

Emergency!!!
The new budget for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is planning to close the Worcester State Hospital. I am a pro-state hospital person and totally do not support the closing and abandonment of the mental hospitals, along with the patients. Please help and check out the links below.

This is what is left of a Kirkbride building at Worcester State Hospital.  It was partly destroyed by fire.  See the damage. I recently went to the state archives of Massachusetts and viewed some photographs that where taken after the fire but before the fire damaged parts where torn down.  There is currently still a state hospital on this property in a newer building.  The property is on Belmont Street in Worcester, Massachusetts.
