tied to go there today , got to the main entrance in the car got out and started walking round the fence with no intention of doing anything illegal i just wanted to see from beyond the fence but within 2 mins security pulled up and in an aggressive manner and told me to leave , i said " i was just looking " to which he replied " theres no looking , so i called him a dick and left so gonna go back tommorow and try and hop the fence to piss him off . I could understand being like that with me if i was looking to steal and break shit or even just jump the fence but im genuinly interested in the building , i find it fascinating and in the few times ive been there i wanna see more of it . I ts a truly amazing place and would highly reccomend seeing it in person

I hated those ropes. Only cool thing about gym was watching the cute girls strech hehe

to me, coming across old microwave ovens is the epitome of abandonment, for some reason. my family once had some property and one building sat inactive for about 20 years. 1986-2004 when it was sold and demolished. there was a basement kitchen with 50's style dining booths and stuff. i chose to go here after years of wondering what ever happened to it . well the microwave, a Liton metal monster oven was sitting in a cabinet with sliding doors near the pots and pans cabinet. Being that the bldng had power and heat still, I of course tried to turn it on.it worked BUT THE SMELL . was like sampling death. wish i could post pics of the boiler room....3 water tanks, all gas fired hot water, 2 abandoned tanks, and a massive oil burner steam heating boiler.

I can't believe they just let buildings and equipment like this just go to waste. How many new buildings were built that could've filled these places instead?
Looks like the property could've been converted to office space or a properly run hospital or school or something rather than be abandoned

should made this into apartments for low income

What a waste of a building, it should've been turned into apartments or low income housing

i really lick these pics . it`s now 2008 . any update ?

There is actually a train station right next to the entrance, it is glenwood station. I've been here and it is just utterly amazing.

i would love a poster size copy of this . you should think anout selling large prints.

you are a fantastic photographer

what building was this?
