[QUOTE="frey:142189"]This isn't just another old building crumbling away we're talking about. This building has been recognized by historic building societies across the country, and it shouldn't be touched. It holds importance in American history as well as history in U.S. mental health. Danvers was built in 1878, and was the first institution in the country to use treatment devised in Europe that were very successful. The patients weren't just locked up, they had freedom at Danvers. The building is set up so that none of the wards get in eachothers way of the surrounding scenic views. This was a successful treatment which was used until 1900. The reason they stopped using it was because of overcrowded wards, budget cuts, and electro-shock therapy. It was finally shut down in 1992, after social groups came in and decided they were violating human rights. Since then its programs have been moved to other hospitals still open in the area. But as you can see, it was a pioneer on the fronts of mental health. Destroying this building would be like destroying the Carnegie Steel Factory or another building that holds historical value. I realize the petition isn't much. Its really a last resort for the asylum. But don't you think a building which holds so much value should be treated better? [/QUOTE]
