Abandoned places in Boston area?




Majesty


I've gotten into photographing abandoned buildings around Massachusetts and was trying to find some new places to visit. So far I've already checked out Gaebler Children's Center, Natick Paperboard Company and Iron Horse Park.

I like to photograph the outside of the buildings so if you have a list please let me know if you happen to know if the area is gated/fenced.



Answer
theres a ton. most are hospitals. look on the website www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com. if they still have danvers hospital up there, dont bother they already tore it down.

theres also a place on cape. not sure where exactly, near orleans maybe? its like an old military place ask around, its supposed to be cool. theres also a camp on cape in forestdale that is abandoned, someone was supposedly murdered there. its creepy you can ask around for that too, but pretty much just kids in the town nowhere it is.
