 |  | Trip to an abandoned Iowa mental hospital
< on 11/14/2010 10:00 PM >
|  | | | LaughingMan and I found an abandoned hospital after a tip from one of my sister's friends. From the looks of it, the building seems to have housed patients with mental disabilities.
Of particular interest was the blood on the floors and one of the walls. We also noticed crime scene tape on the first floor, so something crazy must have happened there. Oh, and there's a police station and jail across the street.
Has anyone else been here?

| | | | I get the feeling that's not blood. Also, I'm not so sure the cops would just leave crime scene tape up everywhere...
Did you try searching archives of local newspapers, etc. for info on this place's past?

Someone had trashed the glass in the place hardcore. Im almost certain the police tape and blood came from that.

| | | | Definitely starting to look more like blood. I was thinking somebody had been filming a cheap horror flick but these new shots are more convincing of another tale...

| | | | Wow great pics, sorry I missed that trip. Next time harass me till I come. The childrens ward looks pretty creepy!
I prefer to think of the homeless as "out doorsy". Shine on Urban campers, you smell like adventure. |

| | | | whoa. i can't believe you guys went in this place - it's not just across the street from the police station, it's in the same small cul-de-sac. we scoped this place out from the outside but it was broad daylight so we didn't brave it.

| | | | Scrappers have trashed some of the hallways since the last visit. A lot of copper tubing was missing from the ceiling.
Some other photos.

| | | | I've never seen so much mold on so many ceiling tiles. I thought the ones that were water damaged just sagged and eventually broke; maybe these are more durable?
Also, is that mold growing on a cinderblock wall?
Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.

I think that cinderblock does have mold on it. Some parts of the building are just covered with it.
