I think so. I visited a year or two ago, and almost had to wait in line for other people to get out of the way, as it was crawling with photographers.

No, the fire house, power plant, and Corcoran buildings have been demolished. The Sunburst Building and other structures do remain however, some have been refurbished and used as a college.

Yes I do feel like once was risky enough, but who knows what opportunity might arise in the future; thanks!

Thanks for the update Tracy, I hope it stays there!

These photos were taken in the oldest part of the hospital, a neo-classical building constructed in the mid-1800s. It was behind a very tall black fence on the north side of the campus. Not sure when you were last there, but the building was mostly torn down in 2009; there's just a grassy field back there now.

Yup, even though the area was far away enough from Philadelphia to be in a different town, the city expanded so much over the years that it eventually encompassed Kingseeing Township and built homes up all around the cemetery.

I hope they save it too; I've only been to DeJarnette once, so unfortunately I don't have any more photos, but I'm sure there are plenty more on other exploration sites.

Sorry I don't make that information public, but getting inside these places usually requires some searching for an open window or door.

It could be a marker for a family plot, but I'm not sure as it was so overgrown!

Yes there's a newer entrance to the cemetery further down on Kingseeing Ave, and the cemetery is cut in two with a public road where one can just walk onto the grounds.

Evidence seems to point to recurring floods inside the building, but I've only been inside twice.

Thanks! Looks like a ribbon, as in an award. Could be a former art room, judging from the cabinet in the background with the mountain of plaster on it.

Thanks! All of these places have had a way inside that didn't require breaking anything... it's usually just a matter of finding that spot without getting busted.

Yeah it can be pretty shady over there; I would definitely recommend going with a group of several people.

That's entirely up to you - whatever risks you're willing to take to do it!
