Yes, the psychiatric center closed in 1993, and the prison was shut down in 2003.

No, the autopsy table at King's Park was removed... and I would've put the photo in the King's Park location ;-)

A privacy screen, and I think there was a bathtub behind it.

Once the heat gets turned off and the roof starts to leak, the building starts to deteriorate very fast. The administration section was occasionally being used for a long time after abandonment, so the roof was patched, windows replaced, etc.

is this in kppc it looks like the mourge there yet another amazing shot

i have bin visiting kppc religiously for years now and this one picture is more amazing than any picture i have ever taken there

wow....shit u r amazing

was the hospital abandoned longer? the prison seems to be in great shape in comparision

The bridge is for a little boat ride they had. It was also a metal slide you could slide down.

My mom used to work there as well. I remember driving through the grounds to get to her building, seeing all the faces looking at me through the barred windows. Very creepy! Excellent shots, keep up the great work!

Motts,
What is that on the left? A privacy partition? or a shower stall?

I'm not 100% convinced it "just sits". I got to say, I thought silkster was a little far fetched but apon a closer look I don't know what to think. I almost feel like this room may still be in regular "use" to this day. I don't know why but the whole room just seems to pristine to show signs of any true neglect. For instance, while there are shredded pappers everywhere, it seems tha they were brought there recently(they are not just wet pulp but still shredded papper)and placd there for a spacific reason, also I noticed that there are no signs of peeling paint. That table with the 4 chairs looks like it was used recently almost like this is a meeting place of some sort. We can assume that if this room is used for any sort of gathering of people, they are not crackheads/kids/general weirdos because the awesome anount of respect this room as recieved and this suggests that a more cultured or organized type of gathering would hapen here. I don't want to go off the deep end and say I am toatly convinced this once was or is a masonic temple, but I won't say it wasn't either. There are many things that do support the freemason's involvment with the building in some form like the fact that information on the history is so scarce even though it is obvious that this place has been closed for no more than 10 years when these photos were taken, and everyone knows that the freemasons love to keep those secrets. But at the same time I grew up next to Glenn Dale Hospital(also on opacity.us) and untill the last 5 years or so ANY info on that palce was impossible to find and there was no funny buisness there.Of corse there is the possibility that the man who designed the building was a freemason and created on the room as "his little treat ".


It's unreal how your imagination can run wild just by looking at these pictures. Another ambition achieved Motts, exelent work!

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SO MUCH STUFF IS LEFT BEHIND WHEN THEY CLOSE THESE PLACES DOWN.

Breathtaking and perfect. You could almost imagine that this could have been a nice, peaceful place

My gosh, how is it that some of the facility is in such "remodel-able" shape, and the rest of it is rotting to hell?
