I've been to St. Joseph's Hospital numerous times, but I haven't gotten a good photo shoot there until recently. The hospital first opened on October 15, 1950 and is ridden with asbestos. I got some good shots from the roof, stairwells, broken windows, and some creepy hallways in the basement. There isn't really any good postings of the hospital on here yet, so enjoy. I have most of my full resolution pics of this particular visit here:

There was loads of light from nearby windows and the amount of wear from weather coming in though the broken windows made it looks beastly.The view from the top of the building was absolutely amazing, here's s pic of the Sudbury Superstack.Cool view of the Sudbury watertower through a broken window.The door was totally destroyed. It was twisted and warped. No idea how that happened.As I said before, the stairwells were amazing.Obviously me and my pals weren't the first ones here. There was lots of evidence of people doing drugs in, vandalizing, and burning small areas of the building. This small chair setup was cool.A look into the basement from the stairs.The hallways in the basement were insanely dark. This photo was taken at 0.8 exposure, 3200 ISO, without flash. We used a flashlight to get it to brighten up.The window we climbed it to get inside. These are just a preview, I took way more photos then this and I suggest you check it out in the link I posted above. A lot of the floors of the building have been cleared out. The basement and upper floors had the most walls and still intact build innards. There has been active construction onsite during the day, I went late on a Sunday to avoid people, also there are security guards slightly offsite you should lookout for.
I've heard that they plan on turning it into a apartment complex. I wouldn't want to live in a apartment that is a refurbished 65 year old hospital.
Also this is my first thread, I plan on making quite a bit more of abandoned buildings in the Sudbury area.
Thanks for having a look,
