Fire Destroys Taunton State Hospital

Full Story HERE and HERE.

Since I got up this morning the story has changed and they are now calling it arson. More info HERE.

Firefighters had trouble putting out the fire due to lack of water. The Division of Youth Services uses other buildings on the property. I wonder if they will be allowed to go back to the site now that it is known to lack proper firefighting resources. Good thing it wasn't full of patients, eh?

More photos of this beautiful old building can be found HERE.
