Welcome to the New Jersey State Hospital located in Morristown, NJ, United States. This cavernous hospital was built in the 1870's. The various hospital buildings were constructed by and belong to the famous Kirkbride architectural order (read more on this excellent website).
The history of Greystone Psychiatric Hospital is wonderfully documented on this website.
It was a cold but sunny day in Morristown.
We didn’t want to leave our footprints in the freshly fallen snow alerting all that urban explorers were around.
After a bit of searching we found a difficult and sneaky way into the building via the violent patient ward.
There were SO many abandoned items inside!
The seclusion rooms with beds bolted to the floor, caged lamps, radiators, a cold-shower with its beautiful marble panels still intact, and many antique medical instruments…
Everything has been untouched and rotting since the 1970-80's, which was the beginning of the de-institutionalization of this state hospital.
greystone is by far the most amazing and darkly beautiful place i have ever taken photos of, the key to getting in without an issue is the underground tunnels starting in the machinery shop. the place just is oddly meant to be explored, 673,000 feet in the main kirk building can give you literally days of exploring ( was the largest building under one roof until the pentagon in 1943) respirators are a must, mad asbestos is everywhere, ranging from totally destroyed to immaculate the place is a total wonder of history and time. its truly sad they are tearing down the place this spring, the underground tunnels run throughout the entire property its pretty wild. respect the place, dont destroy things and enjoy literally one of the most incredible architectural , historical and absolutely creepy places imaginable
