Sometimes, the long-forgotten places are the most fascinating places.
Hidden behind a small neighborhood on Lima’s far west side sits the abandoned Lima Tuberculosis Hospital—a structure nature is steadily reclaiming. The hospital first opened in 1911, and it was one of the first in the state dedicated to the treatment of patients diagnosed with Tuberculosis. In the 1960s, the hospital changed its name to Ottawa Valley Hospital. The hospital closed in the 1970s, and has since been abandoned for more than 40 years.
Trespassers are prohibited (and often arrested,) so we don’t recommend trying to find it for yourself. Instead, view the photos below for an inside look of this fascinating structure.
