Explored way back in January of this year.

The Centurion Psychiatric Hospital was opened in 1902, as a care facility for patients with severe mental illnesses. In total there are about 20 or so buildings making up the sprawling property, while many of the buildings are newer brick structures, dating anywhere from the 10's to the 70's, some of the buildings here date back all the way to 1828, when the property was used as a arsenal by the US army. After the civil war ended it was turned into a barracks and a prison, where it held captured Apache Indians, including the famous Indian Geronimo.

Between avoiding the security which regularly drives around the property, and many buildings still locked up fairly tight, we were only able to get into 4 of the buildings. These buildings though are by far and away some of the coolest we've ever had the chance to explore. The kind of place you dream about.
