    Friend you really should wear a ventilator or _at least_ an N95 somewhere like this. Breathing in the air in a place where there's been a fire or has black mold from any water damage (which is common in many abandoned buildings) could be very harmful to your health. This is coming from me, a person who had excellent lungs until I was exposed to something harmful as an adult. Now my lungs will be forever scared and affected. :( Don't let your lungs become like mine!

    There is a reason that firefighters in 9/11 had insanely high rates of cancer. Fires break down chemicals, materials, and release carcinogens. That is on top of the decay and mold in abandoned places without fires. You should really have a nice respirator on. Even your clothing will have had residue you can track into your house. I worked for four years at a fire department, and we were not allowed to wear our turnouts inside the station.

Also, really glad you're careful about this stuff, views are great and all but your safety is far more important. On that note, make sure you're wearing protective gear.

    omg ok I know I’m like a year late but 10:37 this is used for physical therapy :) people who are recovering from injury that impacted their motor abilities, namely to use their legs, use these as guide rails to walk across and relearn to walk! Super cool that there was still a ton of the physical therapy equipment there.

      Agreed David it was either a hospice or rehabilitation center care home judging by the pads left behind. In December last year my grandma entered a care center after heart failure (her heart stopped but they brought her back) I visited her once and it reminds me of this place. Sadly though after she was released she came back home and was in at home hospice care. She passed away on February 7th. Her funeral was on March 4th she was 97.
