These are some of the barns at Northern State Hospital, dairy barns, I believe, and part of a complex of barns and buildings that also included stables and a poultry-raising operation. The barns are seen here from the fields below where many of the crops were raised and over a tangle of brambles and weeds. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/01/northern-st...

As noted with the previous picture, some of the old administration and hospital buildings on the grounds of Northern State Hospital have been put to other uses. The farm has been allowed to fall into ruin as is evident from this photo of one of the old farm buildings. These are still accessible to the public and are part of a public park. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/01/northern-st...

Taken in one of the old cannery buildings on Northern State Hospital's 400 acre agricultural land, now a public park. This room appears to have been used for storage but is typical of the buildings on the site, roof falling in and in complete disrepair. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/01/northern-st...

This is the interior of the barn shown in the photo, below - even worse from the inside than from the outside. It appears to have housed equipment and machinery for the dairy (in one of the rooms there is a large boiler). ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/01/northern-st...
