Google Earth Community: Norwich State Hospital ( Insane asylum )

Hi All,
I lived on the hospital grounds throughout my childhood. My father was a psychiatrist there and we lived in the faculty housing. There is SO much I can tell you about the hospital but I'll keep it here to a simple introduction and post more later.
Originally our family lived 'on the hill' which was the housing 1/2 mile away from the hospital but at a greater elevation, thus the nickname 'the hill' for the 'subdivision' like housing. We had a house keeper that was a hospital patient as the hospital had a work rehabilitation program. There also were gardeners from the program. Our house keepers name was Alice. She obviously was very mentally challenged but cleaned, cooked, and played with us. We adored her. The water pressure for the houses there was provided by a water tower that was at the highest location in the neighborhood. There was a simple steel ladder to the top of the tower (capped off) but we were not allowed to climb it - so of course we all at one time or another climbed all or some of it until we got scared of the height. At one time the tower was overfilled and the resulting pressure was enough to compromise the steel structure. The people in the houses near the tower evacuated. My mother decided not to evacuate us (we lived directly across from the tower) and as children, we were terrified that the tower would burst and we all would drown. Fortunately, nothing happened. Woods surrounded much of the neighborhood and we often played there. A creek in the woods led down to the 'pond' which was near the old hog farm. From what I understand, the hog farm was used to rehabilitate patients by giving them a work experience and of course, the pork contributed to the hospital's kitchens.
I remember moving to the doctor's housing on the 'grounds' as an adolescent. There was a circle of three colonial houses. We lived at the end of the cul de sac. Just below the house was the railroad tracks and the Thames river. To another side of the house, was a pasture with cows. The elderly woman who owned the property leased the pasture out to a cattle farmer. The woman eventually was placed in retirement housing by her family. If I remember right, the woman was in her 90's. The only reason I know any of this is that I wanted to buy a horse and stable it there and let it graze in the pasture. The family said no as it was just at the time the elderly woman was leaving for the retirement home and the family did not want the liability of a horse on the property. Our yard was bordered by the yards of the other two houses. A family who lived in the house next to us became good friends with my family. They owned a collie and being a dog lover, I admired the beautiful dog. A Dutch couple was the next to live in that particular house. They had small children and we used to baby sit them. They now all live in Holland.
Living on the hospital grounds, we became familiar with many buildings and the infamous tunnels. We were not allowed in the tunnels so of course we explored them whenever we could get away with it! I have many memories of the tunnels and where they led. I also have many memories of the pond. We swam there in the summer (and caught turtles) and ice skated there in the winter. The pond went from the hog farm to the nurse's housing. It was kidney shaped.
I'll post more when I have time. Would someone please post what becomes of the property when the decision is final?
