I visited the abandoned Weston State Hospital in West Virginia twice in the last few years. Both times were on legal photography tours, so I got to spend a lot of time there wandering the buildings and the grounds. The kirkbride is one of the oldest, one wing dates back to the civil war I believe. This photo was taken on the top floor of the main building, the women’s ward I think.

One of the best finds of my recent journeys, this place was just amazing to see in person after reading about it and seeing other photos. It took over a year to get there but it was a success.
