\"\"If you’ve been following Danvers State Hospital<\/a> news for a few years you’ll probably remember that John Archer is building a DSH inspired addition to his home<\/a>. A couple weeks ago, John Gray<\/a> sent me the above photo of the addition. Obviously it’s not finished yet, but it’s getting there.<\/p>\n

Mr. Archer probably did as much (if not lots more) than anyone in the fight to preserve the Danvers Kirkbride in its entirety. And even though I have to admit I’m a little disappointed in how the addition looks, it’s great to see that he’s following through in creating this tribute to the Kirkbride. I guess I imagined something more along the lines of a direct copy of one of the Kirkbride’s wing sections, but such a large and exact reproduction would have been way too expensive I’m sure. There’s also the fact that the addition had to harmonize at least a little with Mr. Archer’s existing house.<\/p>\n

When it’s finished, the addition will house artifacts from the hospital and will become something of a shrine to its history. I’m sure it’ll be much more impressive than Avalon’s small outdoor nod to DSH’s past\u2014which STILL isn’t finished by the way.<\/p>\n

Below are some architectural drawings for the addition.<\/p>\n
