Here you can see the length of the wards inside - the hall continues behind me in the same fashion. The wings branch off to the right, but otherwise there are a row of windows, letting a large amount of light into the rooms.

The spray paint was in most places, and looked to be markers for the abatement crew (ACM = Asbestos Containing Material).

Closing this place down is the reason why there are crazies roaming the streets of Ypsi... but they do make life in the neighborhood interesting!

It just seems to expand to forever, what a beautiful photograph. Actually, at first, it reminded me of looking into a mirror.

Isn't dangerous for your health to be in such floors (with asbestos)?
The shot is awsome anyway. It almost makes the place look cozy =P

Do you all wear masks in the old places? For fear of asbestos? My Grandfather died of lung tumors from asbestos.. hard way to go out!

... As an after thought.. the 'Asbestos Crew', reminds me of Danvers Hosp. in 'Session 9'... Such a shame what they did to that place.

My hubby & I "discovered" this cool old building on a drive one day. We took several shots of the outside but I never would have had the guts to go in! Thanks for the view(s)!!

You people are nuts. Asbestos is not some magical killer that attacks you out of the blue. It's completely harmless unless it's disturbed especially if you cut or file it since you then make dust. People who died of asbestosis usually WORKED with it. Passive asbestos is a pain if you have to renovate a build (since it's hard to work with) and also a GREAT excuse to condemn something.
But it is not a massive killer like it's made out to be. Still in abandoned places a dustmask is a good idea because of the bird droppings.

The hospital no longer stands on the site.. It is now a Toyota plant.. It is so sad to see that the hospital was torn down.. It was a piece of Michigan history.. I wish I would have gotten to the site before it was tore down.. When we did deliver to the Toyota plant there (before the plant opened their doors) we were down in the basement and it felt real strange down there.. The air was heavy and I could breath.. I thought that it was funny with it being a new building.. You never know thou...

I'm glad you photographed this place before the demolition. The old B&W photos are fascinating. I wonder if anyone noticed the dentist in the archived pics wasn't wearing gloves. Wow, times sure have changed.
