More Lovecraftian Places from Atlas Obscura

Thanks to AtlasObscura.com (via BoingBoing) for documenting several less noted Lovecraftian places. Danvers State Hospital, Salem's Witch House, and the Atlantic Avenue tunnel in Brooklyn do not always hop through the head with H.P. Lovecraft in hand. However, all of these places hold more than a tenuous tie to the weird writer, as AtlasObscura notes. Of them, Danvers is probably the best known in the wider world, long admired for its bizarre history as a psychiatric ward and beautiful architecture. In Lovecraftiana, it likely served as the inspiration for HPL's Arkham Asylum.
