its insane how many trees have grown since the old photo. I cant get over the amount of shade on this building. Wow, its just a great photo with a very beautiful decaying building.

Love the before/after shots Motts, thank you. I really like the way the building is in shadow but you can see the sun hitting the trees.

other than the windows the structure seems to be not so bad off.

I like it better with the trees. Looks like it would be a cozy building now if it was still in use.

The before and after shots are always the best - can't believe it was once sitting in the wide open, and all nice and clean...

Vlose your eyes and picture a haunted house... this is what comes to mind. Ominous, decrepit, and foreboding

Yerrk, that broken wood coming from the porch area in front looks like the legs of a giant spider. Haunted house looking indeed! I just love the architecture though, and those patterns with the stone. They don't bother with that now, especially for hospitals...

I think that it is so much more beautiful now then it was in its prime. Amazing the difference when absent of human presence.

Shoot - I'd move into it just the way it is, LOVE IT! Ghosts and all! A little paint, a few curtains, replace a couple windows and you'd have a fantastic home.

Very similar to precincts or fire houses.

I love the before & after pics. This place was once alive & beautiful. It's a shame it can't be saved and refurbished. But it would cost a fortune to bring it up to code.

I've seen hundreds of pictures on this site and never posted, but this one amazes me. Its almost eerie to see the power nature has to return things to its natural state.
