1915 hospital

The history of this hospital begins in the 1800’s. A lady built and ran an infirmary until her death in 1908, when the building was demolished. In 1915, an all female seminary was built where the infirmary used to be, and by 1923 it was a hospital. In 1925, they added a fourth floor. With the opening of a bridge in the area, people would come from neighboring states as it was nationally recognized as a great hospital. In 1941, the government took over a portion of the building to treat pearl harbor victims. But in the 70s, they were having issues with the lack of parking, small size of the building, and the cost of upkeep to the aging building. In 1983, they finished a new building, and closed this one. And now it has sat vacant for 36 years. For about 20 years, no one thought much of the building. but in 2006, a video was released and went viral by 2006 standards. Since then the building has been pretty famous, and in turn had been almost completely destroyed. I’ve never been in a place since that was so torn up. On a side note, that video was incredibly fake. I have no idea why it took off the way it did. But it was till a cool place. In recent years its been considered one of the most haunted places in the state, if you’re into that stuff. The hospital was recently sold, but i couldn't find what they plan to do with it. I’m pretty sure they plan on renovating it, but it’s going to take a lot of time and money. They're going to have to completely gut the place i think.


unfortunately there are no old pics of the inside, but here are a couple from the outside.

1. this is a picture from when it was just opened.


2. i imagine that this is not too far from when it opened. definitely from before 1925. the area around the hospital looks much the same other than the forth floor. they've added since.

sorry some of the pics are grainy and out of focus. it was pitch black, and we were using an old camera we had no idea how to use. we also didn't bring a tripod. we have some pictures on a better camera we brought that day, so i may post a part two at some point.






We're gonna get there. We don't need a whereabouts.

Holy effing rot Batman... The courtyard and pedway over it looks like a scaled down version of the Packard plant. Thanks for the tour!




Give abandonment a reason for its sacrificial reclamation to nature. Love it. Remember it. Take a picture. Share it. Leave the decay to nature.

Anytime, man. I’m glad I wore a mask there. I can only imagine how terribly it smelled. It was Kind of did look industrial. It didn’t really look like a hospital to me.

This place and the story seem so familiar...but in the end they're all pretty similar I guess. It sucks that it's so destroyed, but thanks for sharing the history and your shots. Kudos on finding the morgue! 🙋
Looks like a decent explore despite the rot and destruction; at least there are some leftovers still around.

They've been putting a ton of police there on Halloween and other times because of the "hauntedness". I feel like the darker and more smashed a place is, the more haunted people call it which leads to more traffic and more smashing. I'll probably never go but I can appreciate the exterior, and that morgue looks like a cool find.

An abandoned hospital is always creepy, but this place looks especially super-duper insanely creepy. Thanks for posting this set, great pictures and awesome location!

i wouldn't usually seek out a place that is this destroyed, but i really wanted to go to a hospital, and it was the closet one i could find at the time. it really sucks, because only a couple of years ago, it still had most of its windows intact and almost no graffiti.

thank you very much! we started form the top and worked our way down. but the farther we went down, the more boarded up it got. by the end it was almost pitch black. but that was a bit of a problem as it was pretty torn up. i hit my head on things hanging from the ceiling multiple times.
