The Abandoned Taunton State Hospital (Taunton, MA) | Abandoned America

Taunton State Hospital was a strange and magical experience, full of exhaustion, amazement, and hiding from police. It was all worth it. By Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America.

@AbandonedAmerica Curved hallways need to be more of a thing, particularly curved skybridges between buildings.

Curves are cool. I dunno if Frank Lloyd Wright ever said that, but he certainly thought it at some point.

@StarkRG curved elevated walkways like this are pretty rare from what I know, which makes it even more sad this one was destroyed
@AbandonedAmerica @StarkRG Well, thank you for catching the embers of it before it disappeared completely. Perhaps your photos of what was will inspire the next generation to build anew.
@abananabag I hope so. I know that's how Gothic Revival architecture started, IIRC. Loads of it was destroyed, someone documented it, it became popular again
