Former Insane Asylum, Buffalo, NY
OK, fellow Flickrers, just in time for Halloween, hop on the bus and follow me on a tour of the (thankfully former) New York State Insane Asylum. 'Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home'... This is considered one of Buffalo's most beautiful (?) buildings and is listed in the National Historic Register. Opened in 1880 and closed in 1974, most of the 10 major structures are abandoned, but the main building has been revamped as a hotel, though closed during Covid and yet to reopen. (Might make a fine location for a sequel to 'The Shining' if you ask me.)
