Dog Walker State Hospital - U.S.

[peanutbutter_crackers]

I've visited this former state hospital site a few times and over the last few years they've torn down a few buildings and unfortunately before I was able to make my first visit the morgue and lab were two of those . I wished I'd gotten to see them but alas...I did not. Here are a few photos from various trips. I didn't take great photos when I first started exploring and my editing sucked! Most of the buildings are rather boring and not much was left inside. One of the areas of this complex was/is a bowling alley which for years was flooded and no one was able to photograph it. However when they were preparing a building beside it to be demoed the water was removed from it. It's completely dark there so no available light except by light painting which I detest

This building above they removed the cupolas for what reason I don't know and they are sitting behind fence at the building in the background



This building was demoed 2016.

Some absolutely brilliant shots in there  I can't believe they demo'd that beautiful building, don't they have "listed" category buildings over there?

Thanks very much! Sadly they don't care if a building is registered Historic which was meant to preserve them. However this one was not or any of the buildings. We've lost so many lovely buildings especially the kirks over the years with Greystone being the most recent. It was registered historic but it was torn down. There were some politics involved there it seems 

This place is amazing! 

Thanks!

Thanks for the warm welcome back. I was laying low for awhile . Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the photos  The tubs were my favorite thing there.....also basically the only thing left besides toilets and sinks
