Hátborzongató elhagyott pszichiátriai kórház Alabamában

This hospital was established to relieve Bryce Hospital in Tuscaloosa of its overcrowding, as the institute only catered to white patients. US THIS ABANDONED Psychiatric Hospital was constructed only for patients of colour, where over 50 patients died of a MYSTERIOUS EPIDEMIC. Part of a former United States Army Arsenal Depot and situated 30 miles from the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama, the Mount Vernon Arsenal was established by the U.S. Army in 1828. More than 30 historic buildings are now rotting away where they stand in one of two of the US’s original 14 arsenals that survived as intact complexes. Two of those buildings have already collapsed into a pile of rubble, the third suffered damage from a tornado, a lot of them are deteriorating, the oldest building on the campus is crumbling brick by brick, and some have been taken over by kudzu - a type of climbing deciduous perennial vines. Searcy Hospital was initially known as the Mount Vernon Asylum for the Colored Insane, established specifically for African American patients. It was a 1,600-acre property that was established as a mental hospital for the State of Alabama in 1895. Searcy Hospital was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and it has been completely closed to the public and abandoned since 2012. Urban explorer Leland Kent from Florida, US, visited the complex to witness the rich history of the mental institution.
