These are more from the 4th floor of Weston:


















We found this lonely dude in one of the rooms.


He looks like he died of boredom! And um... rubber bone disease...
















the colors are so awesome!

Weston, West Virginia. It's a giant hand cut stone building that was a psychiatric hospital until the early 90's. It's one of the largest (if not *the* largest) hand cut stone structure in the US.

Here's a picture I took of the exterior back in 2002:

That's a nice picture! It had some pretty trees! They've ripped out almost all of them now:

The trees do add a lot to the atmosphere.

Thanks!

Aww man that makes me sad if they tore out the trees. It made the scene even prettier.

Beautiful pictures! I am especially fond of the exit sign.

Those decrepit rooms are absolutely awesome to look at. It's a shame that this building has been abandoned. Great place, and great pictures!

My first post on the subject contained these links: kirkbridebuildings.com and the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum web site. They give tours!

This place doesn't give me creepy feeling but the skeleton surely did ;) It looks as if he died waiting for someone, sitting at the window and checking every 5 minutes *shivers*

Great photos, great place!

Nice photos. I'm surprised no one's taken that skeleton yet.

This building must be a Kirkbride! Judging by the architecture,it reminds me of The Ridges in Athens.
