abandoned asylums

Images Of America Chris Miller The first asylum that I visited in what was the start of my obsession with asylums was Traverse City State Hospital (as it was last known Traverse City Regional Psychiatric Hospital). This great book written by a good friend of mine is filled with many unseen and well known photographs of the beautiful buildings on the campus. Also a great history follows the photographs contain within. Enjoy this book from one of my favorite series of books. ISBN : 0-7385-3389-0 |
