What I thought was an abandoned house, was an abandoned dentist office. I guess it was a house atone time. A portion of the first floor has fallen in and can really be seen at the stairwell. There is something unsettling about teeth lying about. See below.

Charity Hospital
I've now made two trips here. This time though, a large chunk of the woods have been replaced by an apartment community. Also, there has been some clearing near thehospital making me think they're going to tear it down soon. I am glad I got here when I did. Either way I don't think it will standing much longer. In one of the pics below you can see the brick is separating from the structure. I was on the third floor at that time. I ddin't hang around for very long!
Haunted Hospital
“Everything has been stolen, all the carpet, all the wiring,” Rogers said. “It’s been pilfered, it’s been actually abused. It got to a point where if we boarded it up, they would take it down. Drugs were being used inside there.”
