  • Daytime picture of the Hospital
  • Some kind of lab
  • A destroyed hallway
  • Another random hallway dimly lit by the courtyard
  • Overgrown plants outside
  • Apparently this is "Baby Girl's" room
  • The activity room was totally trashed
  • The activity rooms elevator welcomes you to hell
  • A little black and white kitty wanders around outside
  • A broken window
  • It doesn't look like it would be very easy to play shuffle board on this floor anymore.
  • A gynecology examination seat
  • One of the air-conditioning units on the roof
  • AIDS stands for: <br /> be <u><b>A</b></u>ware <br /> get <u><b>I</b></u>nformation <br /> give <u><b>D</b></u>irection <br /> remain <u><b>S</b></u>ensible
  • To the left: Nursing Home, Chapel, Snack Bar, Administration, Personnel, Social Services. To the right: Main Hospital, Rehabilitation, Laboratory, X-Ray, Surgery, Emergency Services
  • Random Fire Exit
  • This old elevator door has a tiny window for some odd reason.
  • I assume that these stickers proclaiming "NO SALT ON TRAY" are to be attached to trays of food for patients with heart troubles.
  • You can see the professional building through the window.
  • On the roof, the Tower of Americas sticks out from behind some trees.
  • Another view of downtown from the roof.
  • Elevator room
  • Here's a picture of some kind of toilet dumping ground in the same area as the elevator room.
  • Fences blocked off some areas of the roof but the gates were not locked.
  • Looking towards busy Alamo St. The lip of the roof was low enough that we felt we should crouch when near the edge to keep from being spotted.
  • Another view of downtown from a different part of the roof.
  • From this area of the roof you could look down and see the gap between the lower chapel rooftop and the hospital wards that were built around it and completely enveloped it.
  • Another view of the strange rooftop courtyard formed when the hospital was built around the chapel. Vandals had tossed tiles and other debris to the surface below.
  • This area of the hospital lets warm sunlight shine in from the chapel roof courtyard.
  • This is another hallway that circles around the chapel gap.
  • The chapel rooftop through a broken window one floor up.
  • Someone decided to label this strange narrow closet the "smoking room". Why they would choose such a claustrophobic room I'm not entirely sure.
  • Another hallway with the chapel gap on the left.
  • A hospital room and a soiled linen chute.
  • One of many broken windows.
  • Old doors and pointless graffiti.
  • Lots of grafiti here: <br />Room 311 on the left says:<br /> "From: Jen herself <br />Im just stupid <u>Hymie!</u><br />PLEASE ENTER!<br />JENNIFERS ROOM<br />DONT BE SCARED HOMIE!<br /> (unreadable) Loves you!<br />On the Right room 310 says:<br />LOVE<br />Fuck all haters<br />(down the side)prisillajennifer<br />WHERE IS DA "BUD"?<br />(unreadable) Room!<br /> STAY OUT!<br />Thank You Homie!<br />PLEASE LEAVE WEED HERE!<BR />THANK YOU.<BR />LEAVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS <BR />SO I CAN SEND YOU A THANK YOU CARD<br />yours truely,<br />me!
  • One of the interior hallways.
  • Another angle of the chapel gap.
  • I think this was a nurses station and probably where some of the medication was kept.
  • Ooohh! 666! Not as scary during the day.
  • "APPENDIX D: <BR />HOUSE SUPPLY DRUG LIST
  • Window
  • Bathroom with me in the mirror.
  • The chapel gap as seen from a lower level.
  • More graffiti
  • More graffiti
  • Air handling room
  • The graffiti on this window was painted from the opposite side.
  • A gathering hall. Looks kinda like a space invaders motif on the floor tiles.
  • Window
  • Nurses station and some kind of gadget that I'm sure was pretty high-tech when implemented.
  • The gas station across the street was almost always bustleing with activity. Ah, it has been a while since gas prices have been that low. I think that was $1.87 for regular.
  • Stairwell door.
  • Self portrait... "SMILE God Loves You"
  • I might be smiling under that mask, you never know.
  • Those are real leaves in that plastic window. I have to wonder if whomever broke it did so to find out if they were something you might smoke. I think they might have been disappointed.
  • Window
  • Another window view of one of the rooftops.
  • Ramp from one older part of the building to a newer part. The doorway at the end leads to the basement.
  • Don't see these much anymore. Old pull style vending machine. I remember these usually dispensing cigarettes but it looks like this one was meant for some type of food.
  • Basement laundry room washers.
  • Basement laundry room dryers
  • A lonely chair with light coming through a broken skylight.
  • Open elevator
  • Lobby for the long-term care area.
  • Reception desk area.
  • "This door locked after 7:00PM, Please use exit in hospital area.
  • Plac outside the lobby: <br />PEACE <br /> St Benedict Hospital and Nursing Home <br /> Benedictine Sisters <br />Anno Domini MCMLXIV<br />
  • Broken lobby windows boarded up.
  • This area is sunken with street level about even with the top of the wall on the right.
  • Exit doors and a stairway to street level.
  • Tree busting out of it's planter in the sunken courtyard on the side of the building.
