| | | Built in 1930, this tuberculosis ward was intended to house victims of the deadly disease referred to at the time as 'consumption'. Tuberculosis was one of the most terrifying ailments to be stricken with for centuries, and "treatment" was usually isolation, as to not cause the spread of the sickness. Around the middle of the 20th century, TB was finally able to be controlled by the use of antibiotics, although it still kills millions of people in developing countries today. This hollow, broken, and overgrown sanitarium is all that remains of the suffering of past lives. Pretty easily accessible location, probably well known too. Across the street from some houses, but they didn't seem to mind me walking by at 4 pm. The grounds outside are public property, no one will really bother you for just walking around and taking pictures it seems, but there is an active construction project going on behind the site, so that could possibly cause issues depending on their schedules and how much they care. There's a white crested building between the abandoned wards and that seems like it's still active/used, there's security alarm stickers all over the back windows and lights were on inside. There's basement areas, but I recommend wearing some form of protection, as they smell HEAVILY of mold, and are extremely damp. Other than that the only threat seems to be broken glass. Also my first time taking out my camera, got my first DSLR last week so this is my first attempt, any feedback is welcome! 1. Untitled by Marc Grayson, on Flickr 2.
