Why did they leave the bodies anyways? Could they not have moved them sompleace else? Abandoning the dead like this is just a shame

James and Sophie.....at least we know the names of two of those buried. May they rest in pieve

Finks - U made me laff ------ racks

Eww,i cant believe there was anything resembling clothing left there!

Wow,its amazing seeing how clean these buildings are on the outside. Not one single speck of graffiti anywhere

I dont know what mustve smelled worse: the water or the contents of that chair

There is something both very appealing yet awfully revolting about the colors and design

@Carolyn Ive seen worse on this site. There was one gallery on here of a hospital in Germany where they left entire tissue samples behind

What beautiful curtains. Wonder how long theyll withstand the passing of times clock? And whats drawn on that little board on stage?

This picture and the one of the girl with the bloody feet from another gallery on here are haunting o.o

Thank you for the follow up, I apparently commented prematurely without reading your intro thoroughly. I am pleased to learn that it was in fact purchased and will be in some state of preservation, although whether or not a "ghost hunting tour" operation will be able to sustain the day to day operating costs and upkeep remains to be seen. It is sad to see some of these magnificent structures imploding on themselves I.e. "No floors". I had a opportunity to explore the Broadview Developmetal Center in an abandoned state and it was truly amazing. It has since been razed to pave the way for a rec center, however they deconstructed it including dismantling the enormous slate roof for repurposing. Unfortunately this practice seems seldom carried out, probably due to cost, and many of the magnificent structures I have been able explore (churches, factories, etc.) in the Cleveland area invariably met with the wrecking ball. Very little emphasis is placed on preservation, regardless of historic landmark designation. Anyhow, allow me to thank you for preserving this history in your stills, very nice website and great photography indeed.

Some of that thread looks to be in a semi decent state.

They even went as far as burning the books....jeez someone had a big arson streak

Okay so they were more or less trying to burn the whole place down by the looks of it

Why did they try and burn the paperwork? To protect the patients?
