Alone in a MASSIVE ABANDONED Insane Asylum Built in the 1800's, With Power | 4K Abandoned Video

Today we’re exploring a former large psychiatric hospital in Ontario Canada.

This institution was a provincially owned facility which had been used for the treatment of the mentally disturbed since its opening in December 1894.

The facility contains 28 separate buildings dispersed over a landscape of approximately 120 acres.

Built in the late 1800’s by the lowest bidder for a cost of $241,438, the hospital opened with a staff of 41 people.

By 1972, the hospital had grown to be one of the region’s largest employers, with a staff of 840.

As of July 2009, patients were no longer admitted to this facility, it was 12 years earlier that a provincial health commission urged the closure of this facility, calling for the facility to be closed in 1999.

The closure was urged due to the age of the building, 115 years old at the time, in poor condition, filled with asbestos, no air conditioning, flooding and more.
