 |  | Non-epic abandoned rest home
< on 5/9/2011 11:55 PM >
|  | | | I've passed this any number of times on the Roanoke-Martinsville corridor on Route 220, but finally had a camera and some time. Somewhat disappointing and kind of sad to visit. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are already passing by. Pics have been downrez'd for speed of loading, nothing worth the bandwidth for big pics.
The outside:
I found a phone book dated 1999, so this is the condition after ten or so years of abandonment:
A view of the interior courtyard:
Some rooms were gutted, others still had clothes on the rack. The facility is right on the highway, you can see a car parked at the next property over out the window:
Even with no power, enough sunlight gets in for non-flash photography. Note the cheery cinderblock decor:
These clothes were originally in trash bags, now scattered in the main corridor:
On the floor near the main reception desk:
Overall it was a depressing place, mostly because I was imagining the people spending the last years of their lives there. And the exploration and photo ops were nothing to write home about.

| | | | I kind of like it actually, there is some potentially good stuff here. Its no asylum, but potentially good.

| | | | Not too shabby, really. The fact that it still has some interesting stuff left is a bonus. Good jorb.

| | | | Did you run into TAPS while you were there?
It's only after we've lost everything
that we're free to do anything.

| | | | Rest homes are depressing places by default. I like the shot with the clothes still hanging in the closet. Something about it is just a bit unsettling.

| | | | You may call it non-epic, but it's certainly interesting and eye catching.
