A new guy visits Hilltop House

Hello! I'm new to the site and thought I'd post something here in order to introduce myself. I live in Maryland, about ten minutes south of Annapolis. I've only been into UE for about 18 months but already deeply enjoy it. I'm particularly fond of abandoned structures, though I suppose that's commonplace here.

I thought I'd also post a few pictures from a place I checked out back in September with a friend of mine. "Hilltop House" isn't its real name, I just use the term as a pet name. Before closing in 2004, it was once a group home of sorts that provided "structured residential placement for adolescent boys between the ages of 13 - 18 years old who have a history of emotional disturbance, learning disabilities and/or related behavioral problems". The goal of this was for those admitted to receive treatment and care so they wouldn't have to be transferred to a more secure, restrictive setting--like, say, the asylum next door.

These smaller versions of the original photos came from my Facebook, as well as most of the description. Every picture posted is one that I took. I'm not sure if this location is one already well-known to UER, but I figure they might be worth posting anyway. I apologize the quality of the shots isn't the best, my camera's kinda messed up and I keep forgetting to have it cleaned out. I picked out the ones I felt were best, so hopefully you'll find them decent.


1. Front of the house.

2. An old boiler setup in the basement.

3. The large window overlooking the area behind the house. The bottom of the window shows an old brick structure out back. Some sort of fireplace I guess.

4. Second-floor hallway. The first floor and basement were fairly cool because everything was boarded up, but the second and third floors were probably 80+ for the opposite reason. Might as well have been a sauna.

5. Looking out one of the windows in a second-floor room. For some reason a lot of windows on the second and third floors were left open.

6. Another second-floor window.

7. Someone left behind a pair of Air Jordans. Whoops.

8. Behind the house is a garage. Behind and below that sits a defunct greenhouse with old books, journals, photos, etc., strewn all over the floor of a small office attached to it. This was inside one of the three greenhouse rooms; the smell only got worse from here.
