- Come with me as we go back in time into the 1940s in this beautifully abandoned nursing home. The architecture is top notch and the memories are in the walls. This center was first a psychiatric ward and when the patients got old they kept them there which started the transformation of a luxury senior living center. If you enjoyed the video tour a THUMBS UP would be much appreciated and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed and would like to see more of my work :) and more importantly, have a good day !

Given the style, i think this place started life as a wealthy family's home rather than an institution...
Peter Stean I completely agree. Third floor is definitely the servants quarters.
The scrapbook found definitely shows that it was a nursing home.
@@carter7937 they mean before it was a nursing home. It’s not uncommon for a mansion to be converted to a medical facility
I appreciate your respect for others privacy and property. This is an amazing place. Some of the furniture looks from 1960 era.
Grandma Kay & Kes’s Life Most nursing homes allow their residents to bring furniture from their home to use in the facility, which is probably why the furniture in some of the rooms look older than others.
That place was a palace for a nursing home. Today, you typically walk into a nice lobby and then find the individual rooms are small and tacky with cheap motel looking furniture. That bathroom was fabulous. I have noticed in shooting abandoned structures, if you want your building to last, use stone construction. Great video, loved the attention to detail!
Wow!! Remnants of elegance & class, throughout this place. The one room with its own balcony, Love it!!
But the room that stood out the most, was the very last room. The chair right up close to the bed, the 2 plates, the bible. Haunting to me. Super cool video.
If you guys enjoyed the video, a thumbs up is the best way of showing me you did :) Ive been stockpiling footage to edit and put out this winter so i dont need to drive multiple hours in snowy conditions, so theyll be plenty of Dark to watch when your stuck inside this winter! Embrace the day people
Dark Exploration Films EARLY SQUAD THAT IS SO SAD OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HOME (I meant to say
Dark Exploration Films Pianos like the Steinway models have a metal plate near the strings that give the date the piano was made. Maybe Zac Bagans could be notified of this place for a paranormal investigation. The photos from the activity room look like maybe late 70's to early 80's.
Hello Mate. Nice video. if i can just say this from a professional point of view. In these sorts of buildings you need to keep the mask on as much as possible. That paint flake stuff could be bad shit and also you really should be wearing safety boots and a paper suit that can be thrown away after. It only takes one spec on your clothes and you might carry it home to your gf or mom etc. DONT RISK IT DITCH IT : ). Great vid stay safe
Michael Swann Yes, mold or lead paint, even asbestos exposure.
lead paint on this house is a strong possibility. Asbestos is so hard to see sometimes its hard to believe they used to cut it by hand with no mask of anything. In england the think MDF wood will be the next big killer, i have cut loads of that stuff without a mask....... im a silly boy
This is freaking me out right now because I know one of the people in one of the few pictures you showed! She was the daughter of a neighbor of mine and used to babysit me when I was a kid. I am very close with the family and still see them! I know that she's played the piano in nursing homes for years. I can send her the video and have her comment on the history, ensuring she doesn't disclose any information regarding the location.
I'm fairly certain this was built in the 1920's since it has all the hallmarks of that decade, especially the gothic style, which was very en vogue during that time. It's a gorgeous building. They need to turn it into a luxury hotel!
Miss E ask her please
Update us plsss
Hellllloooo?

My jaw dropped when you walked into some of those rooms . Place is so beautiful. I didn't even have to skip through ANY of this video because it was so entertaining and well done . Hella props to you , Dark👊🏻
Absolutely amazing, I love the longer shots outside the window.. it helps to give a moment of pause for us to realise that people stood, in days gone by, in that spot once, enjoyed a beautiful view, sounds of birds. So sad. However they lived comfortably. We can hear you with the mask on. Keep it on. Be safe. Cheers
Don't you just love the paint peeling off the walls, ceiling and doors, what an amazing place, and brilliant history, some cool stuff left behind, that trunk is so so nice, loved it. Thank you for another amazing video.
Good that because of guy's like you...we can take a look in our history... :)
What a cool explore! I loved the arched entryways and the ceilings, the attic rooms were so cool!! A lot of those dressers and headboards could be donated to a women's shelter. Some of them were very beautiful. Thanks guys. Stay safe
Awesome video! I love this building. I think it's great that you have respect for people's privacy and I love your appreciation of the architecture too!
I love how respectful y’all are. I love that you don’t share the location and that you play every piano lol. Y’all have the only channel I can actually enjoy the exploration videos on.
Fantastic building that could absolutely be restored. Keep us informed on this property.
Wow ! Beautiful ! So odd that it's been abandoned. Pictures ...activity room gave me chills ! Teared up.
This place is so sad to me. I'm happy that you are respectful to the people that may have lived and/or died there. Great video.
WOW, This looked like it was a beautiful "Homey" Assisted living place, I have worked as a CNA for many years and I have never seen such a beautiful Assisted living retirement home, So NICE!!
All I can say is wow! What a place!
I hate seeing all the antique furniture going to waste! I have a love for old tables, dressers, mirrors, headboards, etc.
I appreciate the respect and genuine interest you show In what you’re seeing
Thank you for being so respectful of to the people who were there for what ever reason! It's nice to see young people that care about others and their belongs, have a great day and keep up the good work 👍👍👍😁🇺🇸
Wow, amazing!! Your channel is WAY too underrated. I'd love to come along and film with sometime, that would be amazing!!
This place would have been lovely in the past. loads of character. A lovely box with floral lining. Lovely old chairs ETC, should be restored, make a lovely hotel.
Your videos are awesome! You do a thorough and respectful job while investigating each location. And...you don't have loud and/or annoying genre's of music in the background! Keep up the great work!
Your so respectful of these places and people who lived there. Well done again sir!
I just discovered your channel but love it. Thank you for being so respectful to the places you enter and not showing the names in this video.
16:23 I though it was someone peeking from behind the window, it scared me lol 😁
Nice video!
Make sure to WATCH the ADs- that's also how our video buds get paid- DON'T forget to smash that LIKE BUTTON! That helps to surport your fave hard working video folks.
Ruth Shelton i try not to smash anything. I did however subscribe
New sub! Good videos! When I was married, we bought and renovated an old house from my grandmother that she had rented out. The house had actually been transported from one small city to another, which was interesting, why not just rebuild, it was so tiny. We knew that the kitchen and bedroom was added on. When it was taken down to its guts, we were surprised by what we found...the old exterior and window frames underneath the falls at the juncture of the addition, hay and horse hair for insulation, old accountant ledgers and love letters from the 1940s. The smitten girl was saying she saw her darling on his horse and couldn’t wait until they saw each other again. It was pretty cool. I loved that house!😊
Awesome vid..this place must've been so nice in it's day...a few antiques left behind. Loved it
Wow that place is totally awesome. Such detail all around.
You're totally professional keep up the great work. Thanks
Wow. Some of these apartment suites are bigger than my first house. Really cool.
Thanks for share! What a beutiful place
Wow! That building though 😍 I'm inlove with the windows too! Very beautiful!
The attic was by far the coolest part of this place...Great Job!
Lovely pictures omg 😮 I Love the elderly
this place is huge, and it is awesome.it looks to have been a very nice place to have stayed. and i feel that the people were treated very nice there. it felt like there was once a lot of love there. great find. and a great job taping this.
Sad place. Places like that make it seem like they just came in one day and said "We are closing today take your belongings and have a nice life. Now let's move on the double !!! " Sad empty place. Pictures of happy time's now sadly left behind. Goodbye to the happy time's.
Wow beautiful place , great video I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!!
The architecture is beautiful!
Prolly one of my favorite explorers, you only live a state away from me! so cool to see this stuff
Great video guys. I seen a video on this place and it has not change much. Great place. Thanks for sharing.
Wow!!! Such an amazing place! Keep on exploring!
Oh my goodness, this place is still a jewel. How beautiful every room is manufactured. This makes my heart cry, why did the left something precious behind? There could have been a lot of possibilities to reopen it.
Thank you for this awesome video 😍👍
I so appreciate the outside shots.
Gives a sense of scale.
Nice explore.

Thanks for the tour of the retirement home. Really enjoyed it🙂.
So sad to see such beautiful furniture just left behind to rot
Beautiful to say the least. Nice camerawork and music as always bro!
😍😍😍😍 love this channel. Was on my recommendation happy i clicked, love all things exploring and creepy. 👏👏👏 subscribed. 👍
Really respectful kid.. good job buddy💓💓
Really neat place, I love the old stuff from the past like this :)
Wow! Furniture is amazing.
I’m very impressed, Thankyou for having respect for these beautiful buildings, and the people who once lived there, many others would of shown the names, hands up, you deserve more subscribers, and I’m just adding to the list 👍 well done
I love the building inside and out 🤩
What if by chance someone was watching this and was like this reminds me of the place I used to visit my grandma... always so curious of the places you explore & the back story! Lol but great vids especially when I'm high haha
Awesome video! love your channel!💕💞
Wow! Just wow!
Awesome video. What a beautiful place.
Such a same such beautiful are left to just decay
This place is so cool. Would love to see it restored.
It’s beautiful I enjoyed this thank you 🙏
The architect of this building is phenomenal! Hard to believe such artistry has been abandoned to built a new place to meet standards and regulations for Nursing Homes. You would think it would be a historical site supported by the community and used as a spa or retreat. Was it ever placed on the market? The upkeep would be outrageously expensive. Not sure if it became compromised during the building of the new facility. Such a shame there are no grants for architectural splendor to preserve this art.
On another note, so many abandoned spaces which could offer housing for those who need shelter and to get back on their feet . Never understood why we do not recycle property instead of tearing down our environment and not recycling and preserving.
Beautiful Building !
Great video ! Great job filming.
Was beautiful at one time i imagine. Good to see how respectful you are. I'm going to subb just because of that.. & this video. I think its awesome.
Thanks !
Great explore and thank you. It was wonderful to see how large and pleasant the client rooms were. Nowadays, our elderly are usually two to a small room :(
Wow! Love your videos. You deserve more subscribers.
Loved this video! Amazing place
Beautiful facility.....beautifully filmed!!
Thanks Diane !
All those beautiful antiques though and I bet in its day it was a gorgeous place and the pastel colored walls 🤗
Youre the best explorer ive ever seen!! Your footage is incredible
This place is very cool. Great video.
Dark Exploration Films thank you for this real neat video I really enjoyed it . I can't wait to see your next video God Bless you.
Nameless-t-shirtwear nameless-t-shirtwear I appreciate your kind words. And NO thank YOU ! 😊
Nice video, thanks. Greets from Holland
This is such a cool place !!
4 years late, but love the message on the wall: do not vandalize!
This House is soooo mega cool!!!!!
Não sei como vir parar aqui, mas achei tudo fantástico! Uma era, um tempo que não voltam mais. Parabéns pelo vídeo 😉
beautiful building
Really cool Clip Guys!!!
Subbed! You have a really good range of places on your channel, keep it up 👌🏻⭐️💯
I would love to own that building, Those are beautiful archways, I could fix that up.Great Video !
Great video Devin!
nice old mansion, love the wood everywhere !
God bless you as you go threw those horrifying places 🙏🏻✝️good job
Sad how we have so many homeless people that we could put in places like this before these places get so bad.
Someone should auction off all that furniture it’s beautiful
i bet it would be amazing to play a piano left somewhere like that... yes, not in tune and probably not sounding good overall, but still beautiful in a haunting sort of way, knowing no one had played it for such a long time and no one will for awhile... i dont know, its hard to explain and my musician is showing
well done...well done
Your photography is beautiful, and you find the most gorgeous places to explore!
Too bad this was abandoned. It would have made a dazzling B&B!
I’m getting Asmr vibes! Love it
Astonishing how much paint has flaked off...never understood how some paint lasts and all this other painted over stuff just drifts to the floor. The building is beautiful and has the most amazing ceilings than are even better than some of the European explorers houses we see. Furniture? I wanted a dozen pieces especially in the lamp room and several chests of drawers. Thank you for another wonderful view of how things were and where it all ended.
This place is full of lead paint and asbestos.
Another nice job, guys! I have always thought, I'd take any pictures that I found in abandoned places, to remember the people abandoned, and forgotten, and pay homage to them. A lot of that furniture would be worth some money. The paintings, not, but were beutiful, and there was a tray that fit inside the trunk, that was upside down on the floor that you missed. I have 6 of these trunks in my home, I love them, and, yes, they are worth money.
RNK did a video on this same place just recently. Nice to see someone else doing it
Nathan B I've seen all of their videos I don't recall one on this place????
Nathan B pretty sure they haven’t?
The way you present yourself and how you look for information ,I give credit ,how in the hell you go around on mostly on yer own, (it's got a real British feel about, like where I did nights for 5 yrs before getting my dream job in the hospital on the psychiatric unit ) BUT REALLY THROUGH ALL THE BABBLE JUST WANTED YOU ANS FRIENDS ARE JUST AWSOME ,YOU DONT MESS AROUNT YA VERY RESPECTFUL ,YOUR MOM's and dad's NEED TOO KNOW WHAT GOOD PPL THEY HAVE BROUGHT UP, KEEP GOOONG,STAY SAFE ✌🏼️n💙from across the pond . Wales in u.k 😜✌🏼️
Living gorgeous back then ... man....!!!!
What a creey place! Must have really been posh in it’s day. All those table lamps were weird lined up! Love that trunk!
I wanna save all the furniture! Great Tour!!
I feel like you experience a different kind of silence when you walk in these buildings. Silence that could drive you crazy or make you see/hear things.
First time viewer, absolutely loved this place. That one room and bathroom were AMAZING! The last window shot with the owl, kind of got me a little excited til it dawned on me the owl was fake 😂 love the video, will be checking out more 👍👍
