The Asylum
 |
In the 1800's this Lunatic Asylum opened.
it included this Tower, which still stands - as well as buildings
branching off of it in various directions. During it's day, it contained
up to 1700 patients - twice the number for which the building was
designed to contain. Apparently these patients were heavily medicated
and any relatives or friends they had would only find out about their
being deposited here weeks after they arrived, if then. |
 |
The branch buildings were demolished ages
ago. A large dome that was over the structure was set on fire by vandals
in the 1980's. |
 |
The fire damage in the interior is extensive.
there is no real, safe way to wander around within it. Several doors
inside open to nothingness... |
