Ten years ago, I photographed the abandoned Norwich State Hospital in Connecticut. At the time, the property was over one hundred years old. Five years after that first visit, this historic property, that once housed over 3,000 patients, was demolished.

This location was once the home of a large Steel Corporation and a town with a population of 4.000. The property contained dorms, an auditorium and a swimming pool, among other amenities. Also located on this property was what became one of the largest California iron mines. In 1983, this mine ceased operation and the mining town was abandoned.

Inside the former Rockland Psychiatric Hospital in New York.
Established in 1927, this facility was constructed following the cottage style plan. By the hospital's peak, there were approximately 9,000 patients filling even the hospital halls.

This former California resort closed in 2009 and has remained abandoned ever since.
