Retro Files: Essex County Isolation Hospital Outbuildings, 2001
This was the very first abandoned hospital I ever visited. Located in lovely downtown Belleville, New Jersey, this set of buildings was located behind a rather huge main building which was in use at the time. Today, not one trace of these buildings exists. They were bulldozed half a dozen years ago and replaced with crappy little garden apartment buildings. Quite the unfitting demise for a structure that dated back to 1905 and was still quite structurally sturdy.

Junkies Auto Repair
So I’m driving all over notfarNJ all day with a former felon, and we’re on a spree. Every big abandoned building we see, we barge right into. This is the sort of broad daylight exploring blitz I live for.

Fortune Warehouse
There’s not a whole lot to talk about with this place. It’s a rather huge warehouse once operated by a furniture retailer. When they went bankrupt, they left this place to gather dust. Huge warehouse space, combined with a smaller office area that was molded over from water damage, and a computer server room that was sadly already looted by the time we arrived.
