Aging

A shot from inside the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, formerly the Weston State Hospital. This place was really disappointing from a photography point of view as they have really cleaned the place up over the last few years. Most of the areas and the outbuildings were almost sterile. I understand why they did it, the first floor actually was painted and restored to supposedly how it looked back in the day, that’s where this shot was taken. The other areas were just cleaned up too much and repainted and most of the place really lost it’s a character it had a few years ago. I shot an email to them before booking this for fear of the place being too cleaned up but they never responded, now I know why.

Thanks for stopping
