These photographs are fantastic! The subject matter conjures up thoughts of lives lived in this facility over the years.
You have captured the sadness in these remnants left carelessly behind.
I do not believe this is the building that housed the nursing home facility - in operation until the county of Oneida closed it about 10 - 13 years ago.
That building was not Jensen Hall. I worked in both of these buildings - the nursing home from '67 to '70 and Jensen Hall, with children, during the 80's and 90's.
Although all of the buildings were used as a sanitorium for TB patients when it was first built and it incompassed all of the grounds. I am aware of this through researching the history of Broadacres and having family members as patients with TB... some of whom died there.
i am looking at these pics and just cant remember the hispital looking like this. i have a different pic in my head when i worked there. i left in 1971. the front doesnt look the same and i certaintly dont remember the terrace. help me.
what happen to this building and the contents. doesnt anyone care anymore. i worked there as an aide and it was a nice facility. what happened??? i loved the patients and their records should not be scattered around like that. please care and do the roght thing.
I am writing a book on haunted locations and legends in and around the KZoo area. I would love to hear stories on this location. WMU is allowing us on the grounds for photography for the book.

Yes, that place is filled with asbestos. No one wants anything to do with it. K-pep wanted to buy it and turn it into a group home for troubled teens and young adults. Unfortunately they were turned down because the surrounding area didn't want troubled people in their area! Hahaha that's freakin hilarious because that place is FILLED with 'troubled people.' Except now they don't have a place to get help, they walk the streets instead. Selling and buying drugs, fighting, etc. hypocrite north side. By the way, lock your doors if you're driving in that area...
that place is just up my street blakeslee st i have also heard so many things about. and i see a lot of weird things past the gate, it is so creepy my sisters friends went up there recorded it went home try to see video but the video but it kept on coming out and the VHS was not messed up ether, freaky huhhhhh
