Children’s Asylum at Night (9.10.19 10:53 pm)
This high speed photo was taken at 10:53 PM on September 10th 2019 with a Sony a7s II.
Here is the Wikipedia article about the Children’s Asylum/Gundry Sanatarium. I first photographed the building in 2015 during the daylight hours. My original video tour of the house/hospital garnered nearly a million views and has been discussed at length across the web in forums, videos and podcasts. I returned to this property many times over the years. The condition of the building got progressively worse with each visit. Vandals destroyed some of the original stain glass windows and irreplacable ornamental design elements inside. The place was stripped of copper and other valuables. It all came to a crashing end on September 27th 2021 when a raging fire completely engulfed the city owned, highly neglected building. Bulldozers were sent in the day after the fire to level the property. A empty plot of grass is all that’s left of this once magnificent property.
(Sidenote : I don’t doubt that this property had ghosts. On the right side of the photo in the window appears to be human like shape standing there. I had many strange experiences in this place so who knows? Maybe this is an old patient watching me from their room.)
Open edition studio giclée on 8.5 × 11 in. Moab Slickrock Metallic Pearl 260 (GSM) glossy paper. This print is one of my absolute favorites.
