San Francisco, CA
Click to enlarge.Built in 1931.
Click to enlarge.Abandoned in 1981.
Click to enlarge.Today, Monday, July 21, 2008, work begins on its "rehabilitation."
Click to enlarge.Good news for this old building. But also a bit sad, because there is twenty-year's of graffiti art covering the walls of every room inside that will be lost.
Click to enlarge.I had to be happy with just photographing the outside of the building one last time before construction begins.

Unfortunately, security wouldn't allow me to go inside. Luckily, someone else already did...
Another photographer was fortunate enough to get inside the hospital a few years ago. Take a look.

post a commentI love these types of photos! Like www.opacity.com. What are they rehabilitating it to? At least they are doing something with it I guess, right?
