Hello again! this was the first location that I had ever went to. The location that started my love for exploring and photographing abandoned places - Manteno State Hospital. I had first learned about this place online and I just had to check it out for myself. These pictures are from March 2016. I am not sure if the buildings are still there or not - when I was there, there was a lot of construction starting and a lot of the buildings were torn down already. I'd love to hear your stories and knowledge about this place. Here are some of my pictures! Enjoy! -Ali

i know! such a shame - these pictures are from March 2016. there were still quite a few buildings left. i dont know if that has changed since then. Im planning on going back in the next couple of weeks just to see. This is the first abandoned location that I have ever been to. Its what started my love for urbex exploration.

Excellent shots! There is currently only one building standing. I heard this last week from someone who lives in the town.

Its a pretty epic location to start the hobby at. Glad you could see some of what was left of it.

4 and 12 are identical, except one is landscape and the other is portrait. What's the point in posting both?

I have always wanted to check this place out. Always thought it got demolished. Maybe I will go and take a look. Great pictures!

I've heard that it's almost entirely re purposed and demo'd by now. My last visit was almost two years ago now. Thanks for sharing these shots, I had actually missed a few of these buildings.
