The Abandoned Norwich State Hospital (Preston, CT) | Abandoned America

Originally built in 1904, Norwich State Hospital consisted of one building, but rapidly grew to accomodate the criminally insane, tuberculosis patients, the elderly, and drug abusers. It closed in 1996 and has been abandoned since.

@AbandonedAmerica It's in France, built around 1900, abandoned in 1984. We started renovation in 2021.

This is how the kitchen was left behind.

@coldclimate Especially for you: The four different tiles in the hall, kitchen and scullery.

@deheems @coldclimate Ooh! That’s an old technique where the clay is different colors & they push the pieces together, or slice off from a larger clay log where the patterns were arranged. Not colored glazes. I forget the technical term.
Of course nobody make tiles like this anymore.
