Great shot. Almost serene!

Looks like nature has really gotten its grip on the place. Great shot!

What a great shot - what symmetry!

haha ^ . so true.

Do the bums realize the place is riddled with asbestos? That's why they finally closed the place cuz everyone was getting sick...

wtf it doent look scary tho i love this kinda place its awesome

hey this place is kinda cool...!! tho it looks haunted ...

Breathtakingly beautiful...

Were these in patient rooms? If so, they were the overbed lighting.

We have several of these little numbers in our hospital, one is for food, and the other 2 are labeled "clean" and "dirty", clean for equipment and even meds to be transported quickly, same with the dirty one, only it has used stuff on it.

Some say it is a matter of time before demolition.

My mom did a story about this when she wrote for a local newspaper... she actually visited once with us to see what we were getting ourselves into, she deemed it relatively safe at the time. Now, in 2008, I don't know... The Feds took over the place in the early 90's and there were some wild dogs running around, and apparently the Secret Service were using them as target practice. It so happens that a dog bit someone and came up with rabies, so they had to dig up the dead dog that the Secret Service shot... thru the story it became known that one of the neighbors had a little Cocker Spaniel that was shot by the Service as well and the owner was quite upset to say the least! The Secret Service tried to cover it up but eventually couldnt keep it underwraps after my mom interviewed the dogs owner. I don't know what the outcome was, but I will ask her.

Mad Merc of the original 80's crew!!! LOL!!!

20 years later... WHY DIDN'T I BRING MY PLUMBING TOOLS?!?! Oh, to have those fixtures in my place... so COOL!!!

My recollection is that Glendale was a TB hospital and when TB was eradicated it was turned into a mental hospital...
