A Birmingham police officer was patrolling the area and gave us permission to shoot inside for photos. No signs of security guards while we were there, but the place looks way worse than it does in these photos. Do bring very powerful flashlights and a jacket, it's around 40 degrees and pitch black on the insideAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866874864402070815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666301115473419902.post-15653845501620306922016-01-22T12:07:02.453-06:002016-01-22T12:07:02.453-06:00Did you also check out the abandon houses in the n...Did you also check out the abandon houses in the neighborhoods around it. I know there are some awesome ones in Norwood, Druid Hill and Evergreen Bottom. Why not checked them out. I bet it would give you more insight into why in the end the hospital closed. There are also two closed schools in the area. MacArthur Elementary and Kirby Middle.

Be careful as there's a lot of glass. We were going to explore more of the building but as soon as we entered the stairwell we heard a rustling and then a voice calling out so we ran out. It is very run down with lots of wires and stuff all over the ground.
