Please be careful flipping old breakers. The top cause of Arc Flash is dust - which will cause an electric arc through the air causing a violent explosion... it will end you very quickly. Also, you are suppose to THROW a breaker. Stand to the side and flip it quickly - throw it! If you move the breaker slowly, you are more likely to encourage an arc. Stand to the side - do NOT stand directly in front of it.

Nice to know. Thank you !
These two don't even wear respirators or masks while walking through musty, dusty, moldy and Mildew covered corridors.
@@vidmasterK1 they used to lol
How much are they worth each?
Agreed any sort of dust even fine cornmeal will become explosive when exposed to a fire source or like you stated an electric arc would light things even faster. I remember an old OSHA video I watched for work where a whole candy factory exploded because of the fine dust of sugar on all of the roof supports and cross members, crazy how something "None Flammable" can take down a whole factory.
The absolute most professional adventurist for abandoned locations... Everything from the theme, to the history, to even the way you two carry yourselves during the videos.
I've been watching a very long time with zero complaints. You guys are awesome!! Thanks for all the adventures and hard work!!!
Agreed, always excited to see a new one posted. They aren't pumping them out in a hurry but it's top quality.
…there are none lol
I couldn't agree more.
-Mature, respectful & professional-True Masters of your craft.
@Emmanuel Goldstein Too true
The buildings are in very good condition considering being abandoned for over 25 years. And with the other watchers here, I am amazed at the relative lack of vandalism and graffiti.
It was absolutely wonderful to see it in that condition. It's a real shame they can't all be left alone like that.
@@K-Riz314 I know. I am so sick of idiots who can't just leave these places alone.
I guess it all depends on the ease of gaining access to a site. The easier and the closer it is to a large population, the more likely there'll be graffiti
@@eirikjontvedt773 I have been here a few times. It's in the middle of nowhere basically
It's because there is nothing near there...... it is remote
The Smithcot sheet was used as a transfer device to move patients from bed to bath. Something like a draw sheet with handles.
How refreshing to see a place like this not completely covered in asinine graffiti. You can actually appreciate the structure and process of decay.
I'm an older man of 57 yo. I think you guys have done the abandon genre very well! You really take your time when it matters and more on to better things all the time.
I'm 58 and love exploring here in Northern Nevada, it's a blast
Im a gal of 57 also. Do u remember buildings like this
@@aprylrittenhouse4562 When I lived in San Bernardino many years ago, I went into some very sketchy places. Here in Nevada is more of stepping back into the 1800's, there's old buildings everywhere and mines.
@@mitch5077 Indeed. There is a channel on here called Mine Explorers that is branched off of Shango07. They have a lot of videos exploring the mines in that area.
@@K-Riz314 Oh thank you, I'll see if I can find it, maybe hook up with them
This asylum has an unusually... happy vibe to it? Most of the other ones you've visited give a real creepy vibe - but I get the feeling that this place looked after their patients well.
Agree. This one doesn't give off the sad, tortured vibe the others have. Doesn't mean it wasn't a house of horrors. I imagine the same amount of abuse went on within those walls like other places.
No expense spared.
@@NotAdultingToday True, but the vast majority of said abuse was from the patients onto the staff. I work in the industry!
@@tomrogers9467 of course you're going to say that if you work in the industry lol
@@shannawallace7855 from what I read it sounds like there's an equal amount of abuse, from both staff & patients.
I love how you guys give history/info on different things you encounter over VO like the projector. Great video once again.
That's one of the reasons I love this channel so much
I agree as well. It makes their videos some of the most enjoyable videos to watch on CZcams.
Agreed I also like how they actually show the abandon buildings as well and not do stupid trashy fake ghost videos with the buildings like a lot of garbage CZcams channels I’ve seen
Agreed as well, the bits of history are really interesting
11:20 You guys need to carry a non-contact voltage tester (otherwise known as a widget,) for when you come across scary wiring like that. All you do is hold the end of the tester near the wires and it will beep and light up if the wires are energized.
Great idea. I hope the guys see this.
@@seanharvey1250 Thanks. I used to be an electrician, and while that wiring was scary, I've seen much worse. Also, I wouldn't recommend anyone go touching wires like the ones at the timestamp I mentioned, having the tester will give a better indication of how much caution is required.
I have been thinking this for a while, they been going in areas that might have power.
Good idea, do those usually detect DC as well or just 50/60Hz AC?
Never heard of them called widgets before. We have always just called them chicken sticks. Really handy and would give the boys some peace of mind.
"pizza oven style on top" was NOT a comment I was expecting when regarding a morgue 😂
Dead people like pizza too!
Watching this while eating pizza 😅
Those projectors belong in a museum. I hope someone saves them.

Although I'm sure some of these institutes weren't delivering the best care and should have been shut down it's important to remember that the move to "deinstitutionalize" was all about saving the government money and not because they wanted to help people with mental issues in a different or better way, they simply closed them and didn't care where they ended up.
Sounds about right for any government/society to do that indeed. Unfortunately.
Good point. There was however a push for home and community based services lead by parents though, taking place at the same time.
@@ohyeagirl1111 The issue was in many places the amount of money spent on new services was less than what was spent before, it was budget cut. Additionally the vast majority of the new programs weren't made to help all of those that would previously have been in an institution, they were simply given X amount of money and told do what you can with what we gave you. In most places a lot of people that would have gotten care before were then given no help at all because the new services were underfunded, not exactly a great outcome.
@@oryxland3994 oh yeah I know about underfunding even today. I live in NC and the IDD services system sucks compared to other states. I provide a Medicaid service and my organization loses money to pay me what they do because the govt reimbursement rate isn’t enough to cover my paycheck. And I make more than most direct support professionals, and I’m indirect support.
Now the mentally ill are running our country.
These facilities were typically owned by the state and were converted to be fallout shelters and usually there would be an emergency operations center with two-way radios to connect to the state and government agencies
Look for the building with the antennas on top of it and go to the lowest sub basement that's where the emergency operations Center would be located
Usually they still keep these centers operational and you'll find old 1960s or 1970s two-way radio equipment that's still operational and they're usually not solid state they usually are tube radios with crystals
One of the few exploration channel in which we come back regularly and still amazed every time. Your videos are mesmerizing. Huge source of inspiration. Thanks for taking us on your journey
What are some other ones?
It’s good to know that such an incredible facility could possibly have a new beginning. Glad you guys kept this one so confidential because the lack of vandalism is refreshing and allows the beauty of the natural decay to remain dominant.
Im hoping the new owners repurpouse the existing buildings rather than demolish them like they did with Allentown State Hospital....
The little turtle at the beginning hooked me right in.
Love a box turtle. Used to find them all the time as a kid at our grandparents out on LI.
Oh, Look, It’s Old Senator McConnell! SQUASH HIM!
Auditorium looks like it had a seating capacity of about 1,000. The screen is a modern widescreen one so they were definitely setup for CinemaScope movies. The projection booth is definitely fire proof so they were originally equipped to run 35mm nitrate prints. Projection equipment looks to be Brenkert model "Enarc" carbon arc lamphouses (the light source), RCA MI-9030 "PhotoPhone" soundheads, and Super Simplex 35mm projector head. These are all made around 1938. In general, Brenkert and RCA equipment were often sold together as a package deal and likely there would have been a free standing audio rack with an RCA sound system (amplifiers and pre-amplifiers) in there. They could have already had the Super Simplex projector from a previous installation.
They probably ran 35mm movies twice a week for the residents since they were "confined" there. The dimmer panel behind stage also appears to be around 1938 vintage. The curtain motor would have had two switches controlling it: one located behind stage and one located up in the projection booth next to the projectors. Lots of times there was a switch on the dimmer panel to transfer all curtain controls to the projection booth only when desired. I assume since this location is away from the city, there may have been a union projectionist assigned to operate and maintain this projection booth.
Thanks for the info!
You know your stuff wow
Excellent comment!!! I enjoy your comments regarding the electrics of Toyotas, as well.
I remember going to kindergarten at a school like that. It was the late 80's and they had schools for those who were diagnosed with mental and learning disabilities... I think they called them childhood development centers... I was diagnosed with ADHD, and since they didn't know much about learning disabilities at the time, I was told to go there for school..... Luckily, they shut them down a few years upon discovering more about learning disabilities..... I remember the viewing windows for observations. They used to scare me a lot because I'd see people watching from behind a glass wall at the back of the classroom, when I used to stare back at them, they'd wave and that scared me even further lol
Those Brenkert projectors are stunning. From the fonts, casting, dials, handles etc. It looks ornate and put together with true craftmanship. Apparently RCA (maybe not the RCA we think of today?) bought them out and completely dissolved the company around 1954. Quick search and found a gem of a forum from 2001 for film tech enthusiasts. One of the gentlemen who worked for the company wrote a letter and added some history notes which one of the forum users typed out for everybody to read. Pretty cool history and seeing them in the video they just look so damn old school cool but in a damn that's old old cool. These particular projectors are probably or more likely an early 50's product than the 1930's though I would imagine. Any smarter people on the topic feel free to chime in I got sucked in just seeing them and now I want to know more.
RCA today is a shell of what it was back then. There was a point where it was one of the biggest companies in the world, and so having them buy something up and dissolve it for parts would be akin to Disney doing it now.
@@EmeraldCityVideo RCA is just made in china crap, these days. If only things made in China lasted as long as their Covid 19!
In the basketball room, the old ceiling tiles that have fallen look like Asbestos I would not be surprised because most all ceiling tiles and pipe insulation were in the years before Fiberglass which is still very dangerous to breathe. An N95 mask with two straps would be good enough to protect your lunges from this fish hook-like material, stay safe guys, and thanks for another great location.
The fact that those projectors are still there is amazing. I operated those type in movie theatres in the late 70's until they went to platter type units then finally digital.
The orange cloth in the tub is a transportation sling. They use it to lift patients in and out of areas like beds, tubs, chairs, etc. Most likely bc the tub is set up so high, patients were lifted in and out of the tub. The loops would hook onto the lift and allow the operator to keep the patient in a sitting, relaxed sitting, and reclined position, depending on where the loops are clipped in.
Old gym showers were short so you could wash off, without getting your head & hair wet
yup! i once stayed in a women's dormitory built in the same era. we were like "wow I didn't realize women were that much shorter back then" and the RA explained the low showerheads were to preserve the gals' fancy hairdos, done once a week
You guys give that slight sense of being there virtually. Its always cool going into old buildings. Good work men.
This is amazing laying in a hospital bed right now and this is a welcome distraction from the pain
Bottom surgery? 😎
Hang in there, Bud, it will get better with time!
this is in my hometown, it’s actually super beautiful and has interesting architecture, my grandma used to work there as a food lady. and my grandpa was driving by the hospital when he was younger and a mentally impaired woman was screaming for help in the middle of the street. there were worries that the place was abusive and cruel instead of helping at all. and they would need an abundance of food for the huge amount of people there, they would waste a lot of food according to my grandma. this is laurelton state hospital in bald eagle forest pennsylvania. the outside is free to visitors as long as you are not trespassing.. i do love y’all’s content! don’t gatekeep your explorations though!!
I doubt you guys will notice this but your content is perhaps the best on CZcams. When the pandemic started, I found one of your videos, “Exploring a Massive Abandoned Research Laboratory” in my recommended. I have never stopped watching since and I will always continue to watch your videos. Keep making more! Your channel is certainly one of a kind, and that’s what makes it amazing. I’ve learned a lot. Thank you! 💚
Also watch Broken Window Theory. They're awesome!!
@@tracyb8193 Yes, they are the European counterpart to the PP. They did some group explores in Europe.
That film projector equipment is art within itself, quality of workmanship. It should be in a museum to be appreciated.
Back when North America manufactured things!
I love how you guys always all through the locations but leave things as is and don't force entry. The way exploring should be. I also like how you give the information of what has happened since you visited when applicable. I have been watching for quite some time and your videos always catch my interest.
Without disclosing the location, it should be noted that this campus is over 50 acres and was built to look more like a university setting. It was sold at judicial auction in April 2021 to a local contractor for one million five thousand dollars. The contractor also purchased the property across the street (5.9 acres) for thirty-four thousand dollars. No plans for the property have been announced. Finally, regarding this facility, it should be noted that it was mostly self-sufficient with its own farms, dairy herds, and processing facilities where residents helped grow their own food and raise farm animals. Although its fallen out of favor to have long term facilities for those with mental, physical or other disabilities the truth is such facilities are needed and community based treatment isn't always helpful if the person does not have adequate support. Sadly too many people who could gain from such treatment end up homeless when we could do better. Finally, many of the buildings on the grounds were built during the great depression by the WPA.
Thx for the hint ;)
That peach tile is called quarry tile. My spelling might be off. It was a very expensive tile due to its ability to stand up to most liquids such as harsh acid cleaners. It used to be seen primarily in hospitals and milk plants etc..
A quick google shows, regarding the audio rooms and word lists:
The PBK-50, also known as PBK, tests word recognition ability of lower grade school age children. The articulation function is approximately 4%/dB. There are three lists of 50 words (150 words total) available in four different randomizations.
I really appreciate how respectful you guys are, and I love that this huge complex has no vandalism or graffiti.
It’s a good day when @theproperpeople post a new video
God, the theater alone is worth saving! could you imagine that space being reused today! WOW! based on what you guys saw in the basement, someone is working on it.... (whole site)
That’s a hearing test booth. The machine is an audiometer. I worked in hearing clinics as an IT and repair tech and did industrial hearing exams.
These places look so beautiful on the outside, but contain dark secrets inside
That room with the plexiglass over the windows and curtains looks like someone found a way to implement a 90's video game background in real life.
Record players that play through a stack of records are called Record Changers, the same way that CD players that play through a stack of discs are called CD Changers.
Record changers were the norm in the 70s. The higher-end had interchangeable spindles for single play.
There is an abandoned horse race track down in south Jersey, you guys should check it out. And it’s not just a race track, there’s a big building as well
25:26 there's something so satisfying seeing all these gears, levers, and machinery mounted on a wall... Perfectly polished
4:00...Holy Asbestos ceiling tiles on the floor, Batman! Asbestos ceiling tiles were used to limit a potential fire from spreading to the entire building.
The way the vandal graffiti on the wall naturally fit into your conversation as you guys were just talking about how there isn’t a hint of vandalism in the theater, whoever put that there was probably having the same conversation in the same spot however long ago
I really enjoyed this one. the lack of vandalism and the style is right up my ally. I wish I could make a offer on some of those heavy duty cabinets for my garage, they just don't make them like that anymore.
A friend of mine just found this video, and I find it interesting because I live in the area, and earlier this year in early March I visited it with some friends. It’s cool to see a channel that visits around the world come somewhere so local. I also have some extra backstory/information if anyone wants it.
those projectors are definelty from the late 30's early 40's. super cool to see them in an almost untouched state!
I think what adds to the positive vibes is the lack of overgrowth. Grass is fairly maintained
I am glad to see that their is very little vandalism. Other CZcamsrs who filmed abandoned places say they are only here to document the place. They take nothing and don't leave any destruction behind. Vandalism such as breaking glass and spray painting walls is not necessary. Which is why it is good that you don't disclose the location.
Always great ass crazy locations fellas .
Long time follower here. I dig dig these fellas
@Emmanuel Goldstein yes I am
@Emmanuel Goldstein 😂😂😂😂
the outside looks so much like a big mansion with the sand brick looking facade and the pillars at the front entrance and the big, tall windows. And that big park area in the middle that's all symetrical and very simplistic with only a vew bushes that problably used to look all the same, perfectly trimmed and all, like the garden some big European castles have.
idk much about architecture but it just gives me that same vibe of big mansion/castle.
Love, love, love the close up of the various equipment.
There have been plans and talk dating back to 2006 about re-developing this property into a resort. The hospital building would be renovated to be a hotel. There would be a golf course as well. So far, nothing has happened, but there is still some degree of hope and a real possibility that these buildings can be saved and repurposed.
What’s the property called do you know ?
I love the way those projectors look and I also love how the projectors and equipment where are made back then when people actually cared and wanted to built and designed things with quality and made to last forever and be serviced or repaired when needed unlike new stuff made today it’s sad how we are so wasteful nowadays compared to people back then
I love how u guys plan your routes when u enter these buildings
U guys do a great job of planning before u explore and being aware of what might be in your path
U guys are smart
Most ppl would just explore and not be aware of there surroundings
You two are some of my favorite urban explorers. You keep things interesting, you’re knowledgeable, and you carry yourselves professionally. Thanks for taking me places I would otherwise never get to experience!
I coulda happily watched a whole week inside this place. What an amazing complex!
This building closed the same year I was born, and after 23 years, that building is holding up far better than I am lol
I couldn't help but notice, but the fire alarms in these buildings are really old and cool.
Yes they do, these are FCI MS-2 pull stations with bells for the audible signals and strobes added for visual signals. Not sure what the main panel is, but they sure look neat.
The beauty and inspiration on such a grand scale is an enduring testament to the positive intent of goodwill towards those who would be coming to institution for hope and help.
cost more to demo than the property value, thats why places sit abandoned. good video!
22:35- those two rooms are for preschool/kindergarten age kids, the room in the middle is the scream room, when a toddler/kid gets too fussy they take them to the middle room and either try to calm them or just let them scream themselves hoarse. I went to a preschool that had that exact same setup. Those little shelves are where we would put our stuff when we came into "class"
Precious little decay for how long it has been abandoned. But unfortunately also emptied out. Not even one chair chilling.
Wow that theater was incredible! Sooo spacious! I love how this site was basically untouched by vandals too.
Hey guys. Just a question. Have you ever been arrested or found anything extra weird. Please do tell. Also I’d like to tell you that I’ve watched you almost as long as you have been doing this and I love this channel. You guys are true pros. You don’t take nothing don’t damage. It’s nice that you guys also know soooo much about your locations. Keep on going guys. Best channel on CZcams. As far as I’m concerned.
The Smithcot "cover" is a medical transfer sling or stretcher to transfer a patient into the tub and back out again.
What I really love about your exploration of abandon places, you respect the places. You don't take anything, you don't destroy anything to gain access (the damage was there prior), and you take your time. I like how you try every piano/organ you see, and if you know something about the place, you share, but also say you may be wrong on details. It's real and honest. Thank you.
Yet another gem. I am very pleased with the lack of vandalism to this historic facility. The sitting room (29:05 to 29:35) is fantastic! Wooden doors and lots of natural light make the room inviting and pleasing.
Thank you for your continued respectful exploration and video preservation of our cultural heritage sites before the wrecking crews completely raise them to the ground. Without your tireless efforts and curiosity, you are preventing our American, and world, heritage from being relegated to the dust bins of the demolition teams.
Thank you for your continued and respectful exploration and video preservations. Never stop documenting our amazing historical locations, that would otherwise have been lost and eternally forgotten. Now, with your hard work, these places are forever memorialized online for all the world to see, explore, and enjoy.
Again, thank you.
Respectfully, Randy Pine.
I’m from Belgium/Europe and we explored this a few years ago, but we were pretty nervous for caretaker Dave with his shotgun :), I loved the old theater. We went on a rainy day and I think that helped us. Nice video guys ! Keep it up!
If you don’t mind what is the name of this property I would like to look up more of history
@@fall-candy6268 Laurelton State Village, Laurelton PA.
Every one of your videos is great in so many ways. I'm an optimist, but you help remind me that history has proven, no matter how great, you will always find a chair just chillin (well, and that nothing last forever).
The time for these types of facilities has come again. Rather than allow the truly 'severely mentally ill' to languish among drug-addled homeless detritus, these people, who are disadvantaged through no fault of their own deserve a safe place to live...along with the oversight needed to prevent the abuse that caused these places to be shut down in the first place!
And where would staff come from??
@@dannydougin3925 back from Walmart where they all went when they got laid off
My grandmother worked here for most of her life as a resident aide. Since she recently passed, I've been looking more into it. Yes, this is a very astonishing place, but the stories my grandmother would tell about it while she worked there were creepy. She said that they used to take the residents out into the woods on guided walks and that 2 of their residents went missing on one, after days of searching for the 2 missing men one returned, who was mute before disappearing but now muttered "don't go in there" under his breath. According to her, the other resident was never to be seen again. She spoke of this place with such pride for the work they did there, I know she would have cried seeing the state of it today. I can't believe my grandmother walked these halls on a daily basis. For the lack of vandalism, us locals know better than to go there.
And it is comments like these that complement the explorations wonderfully - they give us a better, because truer, picture of the place. I hope your grandmother had a good life - such work seems to have been very difficult. By the way, what a story! And no one was looking for this missing patient?
Ahh, after a long day of work I can kick up my feet relax and watch the proper people. Well done again.
At 19:49 you guys found a audiology test room! the first room you walk into is the patients room. You can see what I think is the response unit with some volume controls for the headphones possibly. The one way window is so the patent cant see what tester is doing. The thing underneath it is a connection panel for between the rooms, the only one I can make out is the bottom left which should be for the microphone.
The list of words you found are for PBK or Phonetically Balanced Kindergarten testing. The idea is the tester says the words on the card and the patient is supposed to repeat it back, and is scored on how well they do. I've heard sometimes they will test kids with ADD/ADHD with it to make sure they are not just deaf.
The green machine you found is a rather beat up Maico Audiometer MA 2B missing its face plate. The two knobs on the side are for volume (left) and Hertz (right). The front knobs from left to right are Tone which lets you play a frequency or a reversed version of it, or switch to the microphone for talk back. The second switch lets you choose the out put, you can pick the left ear phone or the right earphone or the bone conductor. Third is for masking which will play white noise of a volume you choose in the opposite ear you are testing. Finally the last one is the on off switch. Id imagine given the condition of this one and the fact its from the 60's they got this one first, and got the newer machine later. I would that they still used this one for PBK testing because the first switch is still set to talk.
The second machine is a Maico MA3 I'm not to sure as to the functions of this machine but I imagine it is the standard audiology fair. If it wernt for the glare and dust in this video you would have the highest quality image of one on the internet! would have loved to see an up close view of one, they have a nice design and the I/O section on the back looks nice from what iv seen.
All around nice finds! it's always neat to see audiometers out in the wild.
You guys should release a book be amazing and interesting compilation of lost architecture and decay
Great job as always gentlemen, not many YT creators need to rely on a decent location to ensure popular content like you fellows do. I've been around since your early days and the quality is consistent af. Keep up the good work from a 62 years-young Canadian from Ontario.
These videos always relax me. It must be amazing to explore so many places
the opening (and the rest of the video tbh) Took my breath. Its gorgeous. And so untouched. amazing.
Watching explorations of old abandoned buildings is the closest I can get to riding in a time machine. Love it.
Pizza oven??? Hehehe!!
Thanks guys for a great channel.....and thanks to you Bryan for turning every knob, moving everything that is movable and flipping every switch/breaker that we wish we were there to flip!!!
I believe the room before the autoclaves would have been sterile processing. It's where we package up the instruments before putting them in the autoclave for sterilization. The process involves counting, inspecting and sorting the instruments into sets for various procedures. For example, a tray of instruments used for abdominal surgery would be different then a tray used for orthopedic surgery.
Please never change your intro music, it's my favourite
Wow, a key activated FCI MS-2 pull around 18:05, thats rare!
Yes it is, it's an institutionalized version. I have a key activated Simplex 2099 series.
That's it guys! This is the place I'll set my utopic surviving camp after the zombie outbreak.
It’s the strangest thing. On the release day of the past few videos I’ve told myself, “tonight would be a great night for a Proper People video.” Then, BOOM, within hours one comes out! They sure have their release dates down to a science! lol
Depending on location, I could see this place easily being redeveloped into apartments/condos/mixed-use. The existing main buildings and offices/cottages could be infilled with new construction to add space and form a long enclosed rectangular courtyard in the center.
The location is the middle of nowhere so I doubt that will ever happen. The only things around it are mountain ridges, farmland, and small towns.
The massive size of those old asylums makes you ponder just how many people were in them back in the day. A pretty significant percentage of the population.
This facility could have amazing reuse potential, if it is rescued in time. The auditorium could be a fantastic event venue. Thanks for the great exploration, gentlemen. I appreciate all of your content.
I'm glad you guys don't do the click bait setup a scene thing like other people. You rock
Hearing aid specialist here! The sound booth is definitely for hearing tests. That audiometer is the oldest one I’ve ever seen lol. And those word lists are still used today. Super cool!
The videos just keep getting better and better. Been a long time fan. I appreciate the time and the history you add to each video. Awesome job!
these guys are awesome for sharing such amazing videos, its always nice to see a new upload and kick back and relax. its even cooler they uploaded this today on my birthday :)
Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy 🎈 Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Your theme music always gives me that sweet sweet serotonin release.
Im old enough to remember my gymnasium looking like that. Im very impressed with no vandalism. Its like stepping back in time in some spots. I remember. Our hospital looking like that. Im glad youre taking pictures because once word gets out the jerks will come to destroy.
Those projectors must be worth thousands. They're still in really good shape.
Great video. Very impressed by the lack of Graffiti. Very nice change of pace guys. Nice find. Thank you 🙏
I wonder- even in ten years' time- everyone will use your urbex footage for reference. There are so many beautiful, historic places that will never come back because of development. The new buildings might be modern- but the level of detail and craft will never come back.
I grew up going to the camp down the street. I had the biggest fascination with this place. Still do
I love the shots, they are beyond great, but the fact that you take audio serious as well makes your videos so great. Keep up the great work guys, be safe out there.
That site is absolutely amazing! The idea of a naturally lit operating room should be the norm. So much more comforting. Thank you so much for sharing!!
When i had surgery in March 2020 at Erasmus Hospital Rotterdam, it was in a room with daylight. You could even see outside! Okay 6th floor, but still one in a building at the other side of the road could peek inside (with binoculars).
Medical buildings always look newer on the inside than on the outside, because any medical facility, from a surgical hospital down to a dental clinic, has to keep up to current sanitation and safety codes in order to remain in operation. So there are frequent interior renovations.
love the old theaters and any of the Mechanical/Electrical rooms.
