| | | Insanely massive mental hospital and housing complex with @lachy and @dustbuster < on 2/20/2017 8:30 AM > | Reply with Quote
| | | We hit up the spot at night knowing it would be patrolled, so there aren't many pictures with flash near any windows of the building. The spot itself was massive with around twenty buildings of which we explored around three. The hospital and two of the dormitories. 1. 2. 3."professional taggers" 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. The kitchen of one of the dormitories. 10. "The resident clinic" 11. 12. 13. 14."Help each other, report abuse" 15. the toy bear of a current inhabitant.

| | | Some cool facts about this place. This building was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and became infamous as the site of the regions greatest loss of life resulting from the quake. More than 100 patients and staff were killed and buried in mass graves on the site and many more insane escaped and ran free around the county. The main building and some others were irreparably damaged. Following this disaster, the asylum was rebuilt in the Mediterranean Revival architecture styles of Mission Revival—Spanish Colonial Revival, in a layout resembling a college campus of two-story buildings. After World War II, new approaches to treatment had an effect on hospital operations and facilities. Among the most important new approaches were the establishment of community clinics, treatment outside of hospitals, and treatment of the developmentally disabled at State Hospitals formerly intended for the mentally ill. A watershed event was the passage of the 1971 Laterman Act, which resulted in closing of several State hospitals and restructuring of the State system. Since that time there has been an increasing move toward closing hospitals and reliance on community treatment programs. Around 8 years ago, the last patient moved out of the east campus and the residential facility was closed. In July 2014, the City purchased the property from the State of California for $80 million with the intent to build a K-8, High School, and city park. *Edited dates and names out. And only around a 1/3 of this is from Wikipedia
