Anyone living in the Lower Mainland of BC is no stranger to the long abandoned and looming buildings of Riverview Hospital. Built in 1913 with the last building officially closing in 2012, this hospital housed thousands of mentally ill patients. The property is made up of 74 buildings including a cemetery and is believed by some to be haunted. Behind the locked and boarded up doors of each building lies a long history of patient mistreatment and brutality including electroshock therapy and illegal sterilization. To this day the grounds are recognized as a heritage site due to its architecture and botanical gardens.
I can't wait to see what it looks like on the inside ...
