This weekends post is dedicated to pictures I took over a decade ago in 2015. This was the Plainview Sanitarium, a former tuberculosis hospital and built in the 1930s with Georgian style architecture. It was also one of the best abandoned hospitals in the Long Island area, of the many around.

I had the opportunity to visit over 15 times all whilst learning how to take pictures for the first time with a digital camera. Enjoy these amateur unedited shots of a historic hospital that is no longer around.

All the buildings were demolished in 2016.

This place was one of the first reasons I fell in love with urban exploration. Before social media and the popularity of 'urbex' today, it felt scary and mysterious to explore, not seeing what's inside from IG posts, but just going inside with no expectations. The feeling I got from these buildings is a feeling i still chase to this day.
