Last weekend I had the unique opportunity to take a tour of the infamous Willard Insane Asylum, an experience I especially value now knowing that they will no longer be giving tours due to the incredible amount of people this year, and not to mention the damage they did...
Here are some rare photos I took from the inside of one of the condemned buildings.
Pictured here is a stray gurney among the peeling halls of the asylum, surrounded by several rooms, most of which were crumbling, but some of which still had pieces of furniture such as restraint chairs.
Here is one of the crumbling rooms, obviously destroyed by both time and trespassing visitors
A large eerie room, with nothing but part of an open desk, was probably used as a common room.
A room labeled as a treatment room, featuring two restraint chairs, commonly used on electroshock therapy, in which two electrodes are attached to the temples and various shocks are administered, usually in an effort to subdue bad behaviors.
lastly for this post, a lone television, dating from the 60's-70's sitting in the hallway in front of an empty treatment room.
