The photographs in Asylum were made at the Oregon State Hospital, which was called the Oregon Insane Asylum when it was built in the 1880’s. The images depict rooms in the main building of the facility that have been abandoned since 1965.

what's terrifying is that some of the facility is still in use

urban decay is one of my favourite things! when i was a kid there was this spooky building out in a semi-rural town that gave me nightmares: it was probably 10 stories high, but it had no floors - it was hollow - and it had this huge block-lettered sign at the top saying 'SPACE TO LET'. i didn't know what 'let' meant so i assumed there was an 'i' missing and it was actually SPACE TOIILET. i always got a weird feeling when we drove by. i don't even know if it's still there.

Cherry Knowle Hospital, formerly known as Sunderland Lunatic Asylum was completed in 1895. The site chosen consisted of sloping land outside the village of Ryhope, with views across to the North Sea. Abandoned since around 1998 the site has fell into a serious state of disrepair.
