That first photo of the outside in the snow reminds me of the "abandoned" VA Hospital up in Asheville, NC.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/melystu/5443395780/ A more modern VA VA hospital was built on part of the grounds & part of the grounds have been sold to private medical corporations for assisted living & nursing homes. The old doctors quarters have been refurbished and have someone living there, but I don't know if it's doctors at the VA hospital or not. These buildings are kind of in limbo because they're so deteriorated they can't be economically restored, but they can't be torn down because they're listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 35.590371,-82.48607 Plug this into Google maps & go to street view and you can see the old doctors quarters, the historic hospital is to your right and if you turn around to look the other way you can see the new VA Hospital that replaced them across the parking lot. They won't let anyone inside, in fact they'll arrest you if they catch you trying to get in, but you can take photos through the fence. On 6/14/2014 11:56 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote:
I know that several people here are interested in buildings that are beyond their prime. This is a new book of images featuring the State of New Jersey's famous or infamous Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital, and its most famous patient, America's greatest folk singer, Woody Guthrie. Guthrie suffered from Huntington's disease, a degenerative brain disorder, and spent 5 years at the hospital, where he was visited by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and other artists of the folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s. The original buildings of the hospital have been closed for many years, and the images illustrate their decay and the haunting spirit that remains. http://www.amazon.com/Woody-Guthries-Wardy-Forty-Greystone/dp/0989752100 http://ec2-54-221-226-159.compute-1.amazonaws.com/wordpress/galleries/greystone-park-hospital-nj/ http://www.woodyguthrie.org/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TWGS&Product_Code=WGWF Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola
