3,485 Comments for Philadelphia State Hospital (Byberry)

Seeing what appears to be mold on the floor reminds me of the problems that a maintainence worker had at a local hospital. He went into the crawl space above the ceiling to do some work, inadvertantly breathed some mold particles and became very ill. It nearly killed him and he is disabled to this day because of it. I remember him having terrible breathing problems. So people beware, asbestos and lead are not the only harmful substances floating the halls of these rotting buildings. As uncool as it may be------ a respirator could save your life here.

The roof's already gone. It appears to have rotted off.

I was here on monday and the same thing happened. I was atop N-10 when all of the sudden a pig chopper fell out of the sky and circled the building about four times. I knew the cops had infared so I got out of N-10 and into the underground traffic tunnel, then it went away.

the hallways leading to maintenance and one of them leading to the infirmary...

this is just too good

Cut out? Where?

Did you see the toilet / sink room in old maintenance? There's dozens of both just lying about scattered.

speaking of eBay, the old maintenance basement is HUGE. There are two rooms full of old fans and electric motors in it. I went there yesterday and came across two old desk fans from the 20s and 30s. They are quite valuable, even if they're rusted to hell.

Does anyone know exactly why portions of the hallway have been cut out?

Cool! One hell of a DNA Model! Nice shot, I like this photo.

Hottie Motts Applesauce!

The blood of Goddog. Bless his heart.

Thank you, Dr. Sketch, I about came through the 'puter on that one. >:-(

Note the asbestos waste on the floors, I hope you didn't breath while taking this picture

The buildings were all boarded up around 1993 or so.
