Abandoned Army Hospital

74 Upvotes

This hospital was originally built to serve the military personnel and their families stationed at what was then Camp Wolters, later renamed Fort Wolters. Construction began in the mid-1950s.

The hospital was particularly significant because it was the first Army medical facility specifically designed and equipped for aviation medicine, serving the thousands of helicopter trainees passing through Fort Wolters. It contained modern operating rooms, laboratories, X-ray equipment, air-conditioned wards, a morgue, and specialized facilities for aviation medical examinations.

Fort Wolters became one of the Army's most important helicopter-training centers during the Vietnam era, but when Fort Wolters' military mission ended in 1973 the building was subsequently left vacant and deteriorated.

Abandoned House, Niagara Region

I came upon this old abandoned house in the Niagara area last year. I only know of one person who has managed to get inside it and unfortunately that person is not me!

The last time I stopped by, they had covered all of the windows and doors with fresh plywood boards.

So for now, we just get to enjoy this exterior photo!

Always oc/op/no ai!

In Greece we find this remarkable castle, now sadly out of use but still an eyecatcher for the public and local tourists! Harry Fournier the founder once said: You should not value a man for his fortune or the extent of his knowledge, but for the happiness he brings to the people around him. We see Athena, Poseidon and the trojan horse!

Greetings and find me everywhere

Abandoned Catholic Sanatorium

Unsettled by the dismembered baby doll hanging from the ceiling in photo #5, I knew I had to document this place further.

Originally a sanatorium turned into a safe-haven for the sick, this catholic nun-ran hospital was constructed around 1927. In 1931, a local nunnery purchased the 46-bed facility for $135,000 and converted it into the hospital it is known as today. By the 1960s, however, the aging hospital was becoming increasingly expensive to maintain, while its equipment and facilities needed modernization. More importantly, the Sisters were experiencing a shortage of personnel and concluded that they could no longer adequately operate the hospital.

The hospital ultimately closed in 1968, with the closure helping prompt the construction of more mainstream hospitalization companies' facilities.

After its closure as a hospital, the building did not immediately become abandoned. Beginning in the 1970s and continuing into the 1990s and early 2000s, it was used by local community service organizations and housed programs and offices. Today, this former hospital remains an abandoned, privately owned historic building by the city.

The fortifications that never got their war

Some remain intact, some have been restored, some still bear scars from German 88 mm Flak testing carried out with the Maginot Line in mind, and others were stripped of their armoured cupolas after the war and left to decay.

None ever entered active service.

Walking among them inevitably brings up one of the great historical “what ifs” of this region: should Czechoslovakia have fought in 1938, despite the Munich Agreement?

Photos taken this July in Orlické hory, Czechia. If you are nearby, definitely visit one of the restored fortifications with an extensive underground system.

The Fairgrounds in Great Barrington

341 Upvotes

The Great Barrington Fairgrounds in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, dates back to the 1850s and was home to one of New England’s longest-running agricultural fairs. Horse racing began there in 1859, and the grounds eventually became known for Thoroughbred and harness racing, livestock shows, carnival rides, concerts, and other events. The fairgrounds were especially popular from the 1940s through the 1970s, but attendance and racing declined in later decades. A 1995 tornado caused significant damage to the property, although racing briefly returned before ending for good in 1998. Today, the roughly 57-acre historic property remains a reminder of a time when county fairs and horse racing were major attractions throughout the Berkshires.

Aerojet-Dade Rocket Facility

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm working on a personal project of mine where I'm trying to piece together some of the history of the Aerojet-Dade rocket facility in the Florida Everglades. I've only been able to find general information and history on it. I am aware of the layout of the complex but am unable to find a map of the property and a description or names of any of the buildings. I've been there multiple times and have a general idea of what the buildings were for but would like to have a concrete answer. Was hoping to see if anybody had leads on where to find this information. Thanks!

Drone footage of Lakeville State Hospital, MA

I realize there’s already an excellent post about this location here: Abandoned Lakeville State Hospital: Lakeville, MA. I just joined the community and wanted to share a fresh aerial perspective after flying the site today. Thank you for creating and maintaining this group. I’m looking forward to contributing where I can.

My footage was captured on a Skyrover X1 (great drone if you're looking).

I didn't enter the buildings. Been before but the site’s condition and potential hazards are widely discussed in the existing thread and much worse today. So please if you visit, prepare proper safety considerations.

Looking for paranormal investigation partners in the Inland Empire

I’m looking for people in the Inland Empire who are interested in paranormal investigation and urban exploration.

I’m just starting out and would like to meet people who want to explore reportedly haunted locations, record video/audio, take photos, and collect evidence.

I’m based around San Bernardino and can travel throughout the IE. I’d prefer to meet up in a public place first and get to know each other before planning any investigations.
