The abandoned Traverse City State Hospital

Traverse City State Hospital, also known as the Northern Michigan Asylum, was an abandoned psychiatric hospital located in Traverse City, Michigan, USA. The hospital was designed by architect Gordon W. Lloyd and opened in 1885.

The Traverse City State Hospital was a sprawling complex of red brick buildings and gothic-style architecture. The hospital’s main administration building was the most prominent structure on the campus, with its tall spires and imposing facade. The campus also included patient wards, staff housing, and other support buildings.

The grounds around the hospital are overgrown and wild, with trees and plants growing up through cracks in the pavement. The hospital’s once-beautiful gardens are now choked with weeds, and the pathways that once guided patients on their walks are now obscured by undergrowth.
