This The Shining hallway, representative of hundreds of feet on 5 floors, is the result of DEI hire* immigrant construction of a former convent in 1909 Maine, and partially converted to a Shawshank Senior Living Center with approval of the Historical Society to preserve the building from the wrecking ball.

* = Because of shoddy DEI hire construction 116 years ago, the floors 'squeak' in some places on all floors.
