Big Empty Hospital (Pic Heavy)

This hospital was founded as a tuberculosis sanatorium in the early 1900's, and was expanded and utilized as a general hospital and a nursing home before finally closing in 2015. I first scouted this place back in November, but was put off by the power and the signs of alarms, and by reports that bodies from the state crime lab had been stored here temporarily as late as last summer. Returning over the weekend, I finally found a workable POE and discovered a malfunctioning fire alarm system, but nothing else in the way of security. Not that there was much to secure; I have a knack for finding ostensibly awesome schools and hospitals only to find that they're completely empty of anything hinting at their former life. Nevertheless, I combed every inch of the place looking for any signs of a morgue, in particular, but to no avail. There were still some good shots to be had, though, on top of a great view from the roof and the chance to look down on kids practicing driving, a guy flying his drone, and a retiree metal detecting, all from four floors up.

Surprisingly, the real highlight of this place was the former nurses' quarters, which in stark contrast to the main hospital was chock-full of just the sort of photogenic leftovers that you would expect to see in a place like this, and therefore provided by far the better shots:

So all in all, not the major discovery I was rather hoping for, but still a very pleasant and surprisingly casual location in which to while away a beautiful afternoon. As always, thanks for looking!

Really great set of photos! Hospitals can be tough being their sterile nature. That stereo is a cool find, and all those pins. Awesome

Ha, I've looked through those front doors in #6. Took me a while to remember which hospital it was. Good stuff!

Great find, congrats on infiltration! I love that mural in pic 16, and it's always great to find an abandoned wheelchair...awesome job, thanks for sharing!
Weird there was no morgue; I explored a rather small local hospital last year; didn't find one, but there were several walk in freezers and doors like in your pic 14. They were near the cafeteria, but I wondered if perhaps some of them had been used for temporary body storage...

Another great set Baldran
And a refreshingly honest thread title.

Nothing says home like a cold fireplace and a wheelchair




Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

Awesome set, old hospitals with random stuff all over the place are lots of fun.

I was wondering while I was here if you'd done this place, with the multitudes of hospitals you've shown us over the years. It's an easy, laid back place, and I'd recommend checking it out next time you're nearby, but I wouldn't say it'd be worth the trip on its own.

Do you mean to tell me you don't recognize Danvers when you see it?

Incredible set! As you said, a shame that it's been stripped bare in some areas, but it looks like the location still had a lot of character. I always love it when you can see cool signs of life around a place, like the retiree metal detecting and the kids flying drones. Especially love the graffiti in latin in 4 and the architecture in 11.

Okay, then I'd recommend you start with the FAQ to avoid asking questions others have asked. But basically, it's considered poor form here to ask for locations, especially if you're new. Sharing locations between explorers requires a certain amount of trust, and newbies haven't earned that trust yet.

Plus we've gotten a lot of bots lately.
