667 Comments for Essex County Isolation Hospital

AND YES IN FACT THIS PLACE DOES APPEAR TO BE ABANDONED BC I JUST WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF "THE UNKOWN CAMERA MAN" WHO WENT HERE, SO AGAIN YES IT'S ABANDONED........

So is this building watched or patrolled by cops or security? Is it easy to find a way in? Me and my brother want to go here to explore it, we will be coming from edgewood, md so I want and need to kno these details please.

1. This is an actual place and it was an Isolation Hospital. It is in N.J. and the rule which is not always followed on here is to not reveal the location of the building being shown. It was used in small areas for different things over time and as recently as 2010 the county had to evict the most recent tenant a cancer research center for failure to pay the rent.
2. It was a general term and there were many Isolation Hospitals in the US in fact they were very common until Vaccination started having its effect on disease. People who had polio, TB, and other serious infectious disease were treated and often isolated/quarantined in them.

I just came across some pictures of my sister in-laws which she's had
for a long time and wasn't sure how she ever aquired them. One is dated 1918 and is taken at a cemetary. Then one has seven men in uniform sitting in front of a one story garage type building. A barak?
On the back is written"Isolation Hospital". I typed it is to search and this is where I ended up. Is this a general term or this actual place?
Where is the location of this place?

Wow...those test tubes almost look new! No dust! That is a little freaky.

Beautiful.

I just had an weird feeling last night that maybe I had mentioned the circuitousness of routing when I was taken to this room previously on this thread. I did, but I didn't mention/know then that it had happened at least twice.

Anyone know what's up with the Forum function? Its been down two days I know of.

I just remembered I went to this room twice not the one time, and both times the person assigned to take me there, IDK if it was the same person each time, was instructed to take a very long and circuitous route to confuse me and make certain I did not know where the place actually was inside the hospital. My "caretakers" put an awful lot of effort into confusing me and denying me honest feedback or context to make my inner mental life as barren as possible.

Lots of nasties lead paint asbestos PCBs in light ballasts & caulking

I wonder what the many faces that stared into that mirror looked like?

you're pictures are great! ive always wanted to go to a place like this. i am now doing some research on mental institutions, and this website has really helped! :) you're really lucky you got to see that stuff.

Joe,
I joined the site so that you can PM me or post on the Isolation Hospital topic I started in the Opacity/Abandoned Related forum.
I've used the same handle.

Another food fact:

I rarely eat Multi-Grain Cheerios b/c my cousins and sister kept eating it all (but that's gonna change!!)

love this pic...
