| | | On a recent exploring trip, this well-known hospital was high on my to-do list; briefly seeing the complex on the way to visit family is largely what sparked my childhood interest in abandoned places, and I was excited for the chance to thoroughly explore it for myself. Considering how much traffic it gets, I expected the main attractions to largely be tagged stripped to the bone, and for the most part, they were. The sheer size of the campus, though, made up for it in my book. As much ground as myself and my exploring partner covered, it felt like the sprawling tunnels and hallways and day rooms would stretch forever. Hanging out here was absolutely many hours well spent. Unfortunately none of my film shots from the trip came out, but I got plenty of digital ones. Hope you enjoy! 1) Castle through the trees IMG_9029 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 2) Twelve stories down IMG_8738 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 3) Attic IMG_8730 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 4) The quad and beyond IMG_8733 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 5) KPDClrRow2 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 6) IMG_9033 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 7) Day room KPDyRm by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 8) IMG_9295 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 9) KPD2 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 10) Morgue IMG_9005 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 11) KPTV2 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 12) IMG_8812 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 13) IMG_8902 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 14) IMG_8972 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 15) IMG_9001 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 16) IMG_8831 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 17) IMG_8832 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 18) IMG_8825 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr 19) Sunset at 7 IMG_9037 by Sanitarium Sean, on Flickr Thanks for looking!

| | | Despite being extremely tagged up, it looks like it's in very good condition structurally from what I can tell. You can see the aging on the windows walls and ceilings with the chipping paint and such, but aside from that hole in the roof in picture 1 it looks good. If it was abandoned in your childhood I assume it's been abandoned a while. Is it really in as good structural condition as it looks? Were there any unstable sections or auxillary buildings? |
The complex was abandoned in '96, though parts were apparently shut down before then. A lot of the structures demolished in recent years were falling apart, but from what I could tell, the buildings that I photographed were in decent shape structurally. despite plenty of water damage. I recognize several of these shots from my visit there! I did not get to many good pictures, we got there late and were in a bit of a hurry. We only had time to explore the power building and building 93. I see random sections of the second floor of the power building are still moved/missing lol. The attic looks familiar! Being out on that little balcony by the attic looking out at the buildings as the sun was going down was my highlight of the trip. I did not get to go in any other buildings, or the tunnels, so a return trip is certainly in my future. |
The first thing we did when we got here was make a bee line to the top of 93 to check out the view, and I agree, it was pretty spectacular! I too need to get back at some point, there's a lot of ground that I didn't cover. Love the photos, especially #2. | Thanks! Such a fun place to explore (especially at night), the ground are enormous, but some of the buildings can become repetitive. It's upsetting how much destruction this place eats on a regular basis. I remember when that TV set was in one piece | This place really is like a big playground at this point. That's definitely unfortunate in some ways (it always sucks to see a place so picked-through and destroyed), but at least it makes for an interesting atmosphere. Casually running into as many people as we did here made the experience relaxing and fun.
