Product Details
- Byberry State Hospital, located in Philadelphia County since 1906, was demolished in 2006 after being abandoned for 16 years.
- The hospital, initially well-intentioned, offered various amenities like a farm, bowling alleys, and a post office, but had abysmal conditions likened to Nazi concentration camps.
- Throughout its history, the hospital served as an educational institution, a site for a World War II Civilian Public Service conscientious objector unit, and a volunteering hot spot before its eventual decline.
- At its peak, Byberry housed over 6,000 patients but is now remembered for its abandoned state, attracting urban explorers intrigued by its history.
- This book, 'Byberry State Hospital (Images of America),' offers a comprehensive look into the forgotten history of the hospital, providing insight into its good, bad, and unusual aspects.
- The book was published on May 20, 2013, and is available in paperback format.
