Abandoned Hospital in Detroit Is Reality, Not a Set on 'The Walking Dead'

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Driving through Detroit, abandoned commercial buildings of all types rise up from the mass of vacant homes to catch the eye. After several days, this modern structure had drawn my attention enough that I stopped to take a closer look. Originally designed to house the Southwest Detroit Hospital, which was closed in 1993, it was sold to Detroit businessman Harley K. Brown who re-opened the building as United Community Hospital and subsequently drove it into the ground to advance his boxing promotion career. It was sitting vacant for nine years when I arrived in mid-January 2015 for our feature series Inside Detroit.

I can't get over all the personal information that was just left there. I mean leaving behind patient claims and patient medical records is not cool. That place creeped me out. I give the photographer a lot of credit for even going in there.
