Waltham - Metropolitan State Hospital - From approximately 1974-1976 a former employee worked at Metropolitan State Hospital as a Mental Health Worker I. they were assigned to the TriCity unit, initially working with the geriatric patients and later in their acute and chronic wards elsewhere on the campus. They report Metropolitan State Hospital even then was an eerie place. Sad to say, but conditions back then weren’t the nicest. Not to say abusive, but they were still pretty grim. The typical unit was set up with a desk where the staff would congregate for most of their shift and a large number of chairs lining the walls. God help you if you ever tried changing the configuration of the furniture. It had to be institutional with all chairs against the walls. In most units there would also be one or two tables with chairs around them for various activities. The patients would sit in the chairs, sit around the tables etc. e television was constantly on for everyone’s amusement. The staff had a ring of keys which let them in and out of the units. In each unit there were halls that ran perpendicular to the main hall which led to a row of rooms where the patients slept. These included some smaller rooms for individuals or two people and occasionally a larger room for several people in a bunkroom style. The walls were always a sad pale green color and the windows had grids on them. And there was always one room which was padded and could be locked to contain violent patients who were having an incident. the tunnels were built so that someone could travel between the various buildings during inclement weather etc. the worker used them a few times and they were very small and claustrophobic feeling, lit by lights at ceiling level every several feet. The tunnels always felt eerie as though there were something just ahead or behind you. A lot of staff insisted that if they had to travel by tunnel that they go alone. Some of the buildings didn’t use all their floors when they where there. In the building which housed the TriCity acute and chronic wards the top floor was closed. One time during a break they went upstairs and unlocked it. The entire area was dark with no power and though they knew the layout because it was identical to the one downstairs they didn’t spend more than a few minutes there. The oppressive feeling was just too great and felt as though it were “crushing”. Today, Metropolitan State Hospital and all of its buildings are closed down and the grounds are very carefully guarded. - September 2004 update: visitors to this site where chased off the property. no tresspassing. If you want to go in you really need to coordinate it and get written permission.
