Taunton State Hospital-Outside The Gates-1/15/07

A few days ago a rumor was started within the UE community that The Historic Preservation Society was going to be hosting an "open house" where they were to be opening the gates to the abandoned Taunton State Hospital for all to walk around the exterior of the building and take in it's beauty. 2 days after the rumor was started it was revealed as a hoax when the origional information source posted a supposed link to a newspaper article about it and a phone number for more info. The link was to a photo of some douchebags with "haha" painted above them and the phone number was a rejection hotline. I had already made plans to go and saw no reason why not to go even if the gates would be locked tight as usual. Overall Im glad I went. It was a dismal, foggy afternoon and I got some great photos of a gorgeous building. Photos taken by: PunkUE
