"Forgotten Photography"

I love the mystery of old abandoned places. Perhaps that's why I found this so interesting...

Forgotten Photography provides a photographic journey through some of America's historical asylums and state hospitals. In the 1800's these elegant asylums and state hospitals were intended to be the first step towards the humane treatment of the mentally ill.

These once lavish buildings now stand empty, a hollow shell of what was once the best mankind could offer for an illness he didn't understand and couldn't cure.
