In order to protect locations from vandalism etc, if you know where this is please don't name it in the comments.
This now abandoned hospital closed its doors permanently in early 2011 and has been sitting vacant and slowly deteriorating ever since. The hospital was founded in 1898 and had numerous additions added throughout the years as the city around it grew in size. In 1963 the hospital was pretty much completely rebuilt and this is evidenced by its current architectural style. In 2011 it was replaced by a more modern facility which at the time would have been state of the art and cost almost half a billion dollars.
This building along with two others nearby were bought in 2013 for $65,000. The company converted one of the buildings into condominiums and later sold the other two in 2019. The building's current owner plans to turn the large former hospital into a long-term care facility but so far, as of this writing, nothing has happened at the site.
An incredible explore this building was absolutely massive with multiple floors and wings with 11 years worth of decay. Inside, the hospital looks like a war zone in parts, with water intruding and causing mosses to grow, walls collapsing and even the wall surrounding one of the elevator shafts had collapsed! Although mostly emptied of its contents, the hospital did still have a chapel, a physical therapy pool as well as various large x-ray machines. With a regular stream of visitors, whether it be kids, scrappers, homeless or even urban explorers, the local police have had their hands full! Earlier this year a group of three teenagers were inside exploring the building at night and lost their way, they ended up having to call the police to rescue them. During my visit I had a close call when someone locked me inside the building but more on that later when I release part two of the video!!
