3,485 Comments for Philadelphia State Hospital (Byberry)

okay, it is not the same hospital--but does any one know of the one i am talking about? it is by a beer distributer and i think it was a veterans psych ward that was closed down some time in the 70's

I believe that this may be the hospital that i squatted in for a few months a few years back, is this the hospital off of south street and if it is has there been any changes (i.e. official development) in the past 4 years?

there are many tunnels, some go from old section to the new section of byberry. REALREZ@AOL.COM

Commercial Wolf ranges are not appropriate for home use for most people. They are a royal pain to clean. They are so heavy that the previous owner of our house had to reinforce the floor. The pilot lights are always on in the oven, making the kitchen hot (fine in the winter, but not in the summer). Our gas bill went down 50% in the winter after we had it removed. It's not insulated like a residential oven/stove, so it's really hot to operate in the summer.

That being said, water does boil very quickly on the stovetop, a great big turkey will fit in the oven, and it bakes great bread.

Oh, and it's big, much deeper than standard cabinets and counters.

Too bad the "artwork" cheapens the shot. Motts, why are some places more trashed by this crap than others, do you know? Does it have to do with accessibility? And it seems that Byberry is exceptionally damaged.

this place is a rush

another fabulous photo

i just went there 10/17 and the pictures of the little girl are still there....they are covering just about every seat

That thing would startle the bejeezus out of me if I came across it in a pitch-black, burned-out building. Which is probably one of the reasons I don't do too much urban exploring - I'm a fraidy cat lol...

Looks like pizza dough. I'm not morbid enough.

Hey Ed;
Care to take a newbie through the place? I'd love to go.

Awesome Shot! probably my Fav in the series.

Thanks man, yeah I have a photo but I'm not sure if the girl in it wants it posted... it's a crappy shot anyway. The catacombs are just steam tunnels, like at KP, but maybe not as long!

Thats a really great pic Motts. Any pictures of the catacombs? I would love to see them, they sound amazing.
