The facility had its own farm and allowed patients to care for the animals and gardens. They also enjoyed beautiful accommodations with lots of natural light and amenities like a library, billiards room and tennis courts.

As the number of patients increased, the additional wings were added to the original building. At one point, the hospital was 141,478 square feet. Funding issues and overcrowding led to a decreased level of care. Eventually, the additions were demolished, along with the farm. The buildings that were left began to decay.

These photos, posted on Instagram, show the decaying hospital’s interior.

The last part of our Bryce Tour! This was in the very last part of the wing where the most damage was done by nature. We weren’t allowed to walk past this door obviously but who would want to anyways?! Happy Halloween! ?? #brycehospital #happyhalloween
