The Abandoned Ocean Vista Tuberculosis Hospital* | Abandoned America

Filled with relics from its past as a tuberculosis sanatorium, the abandoned Ocean Vista Hospital is a reminder of the days when you could be essentially imprisoned for being ill. By Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America.

Hope the explorers / photographer was wearing a good mask. Not for TB, which likely broke down by the first year, but for asbestos.

@Frances_Larina the explorer is me, and I did not wear a mask because I'm kind of hoping not to get any older than I have to

@AbandonedAmerica

That I understand. Still, please stay safe as living out your last 10 years in pain is no fun or so I've heard. Also, you bring a sense of...I dunno, historic wonder to your work. It would be a shame for the world to lose it.

@Frances_Larina thank you, Frances - now that I'm officially middle aged I'm more aware than I was in my youth that battering your body does have some really unfortunate consequences. Hopefully we won't be looking at a ton of mesothelioma deaths in the urban exploration community in another 10-20 years.
