Riverview Hospital is a Canadian mental health facility located in Coquitlam, British Columbia. It operated under the governance of BC Mental Health & Addiction Services when it closed in July 2012.

In 1904 the provincial government purchased 1,000 acres (400 ha) in then-rural Coquitlam for the construction of Riverview Hospital.

Patients were originally housed in temporary buildings, and in 1913 the building that would eventually be called West Lawn began treating the 300 most seriously ill male patients. The building was originally constructed to hold 480 patients. By the end of the year it housed 919.

Today the building stands condemned and the site is often used for movie sets.

Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships. Wishing you all health during this difficult time.

Stay Healthy

Thankfully. This old place was intriquing. I dont know how it kept standing on its own. Creepy but a beautiful decay.

One of the bits of my chosen home town of Darmstadt, that tourists won't get to see - we only have a few, but I thought this one worth showing. I doubt if I'll be able to sell this to the tourist office...

This is one wing of a decaying Union 76 station along Highway 395 in California. I was attracted to the extravagantly peeling paint when I shot this image. The building also had quite a collection of broken windows. There is a faint hint of what is in the building in the window.

Happy Window Wednesday!

The round rock near the bottom of the image was likely tossed through the window near the stairs.
