Summer writing walking project (Day Fifty-Three)

I did some grading today and then had a little time to work on my paper. So my son and I drove out to Medfield to check out the old Medfield State Hospital, which we've driven by a lot but never visited. Turns out it's a pretty big place! We walked all around the grounds and I took a few pictures. (Unfortunately, I only know one of the buildings: the chapel.)

Here are some of the pictures. I think you can click on them to make them larger.

Here's the chapel.

The porch needs some work...

[Update: This was the female nurses' home.]

I took some other pictures, but I want to go back and take some more, I think. (I'm sure there are millions of pictures of the Medfield State Hospital on the web, though.)

So that's how I spent my day! It was a good day for my son and me to run around, considering it has rained every day so far this month.

[Update: I found this old map of the hospital grounds. And some information from the Town of Medfield about what they're thinking of doing with the property.]
