I found this suspiciously abandoned looking building after doing random satellite "recon" on Google maps. Upon arriving on site I was excited to find that it was as I had suspected; a decent sized hospital! This building closed in around 2008, after the staff moved to a newly constructed building, and had sat slowly rotting away since.
I'd started exploring (officially, I guess) not long before this find, and it was my first hospital...time, along with vandals, had left their marks, there was a water leak on the first floor (in the labs), vultures roosted on the roof and the third floor, but I still found quite alot to photograph. Without a tripod, and not being practiced in low-light shooting, many of my pics came out grainy...this compilation features my better pics, taken on two separate trips, the last one being on July 4th of this year.
Sadly, I was recently informed that this location is currently undergoing demolition...so while it's not the same as being there, I wish to share my experience for those who will not be able to explore this place for themselves. I only wish I'd been able to put aside time in these last 4 months to do a more "professional" reshoot.
Rest in Peace, awesome hospital...
Hope you all enjoy these pics!
