Henryton State Hospital | a silent transmission

In the rusty heart of Henryton Sanitarium's power plant, corroded machinery rests in silent contrast to the leaves creeping in through the windows and up the walls. When this facility was open, this small power plant would have provided energy to the entire site, allowing the facility to remain relatively isolated from the community around it. The clothes, gloves, and tools of the workers there still litter the site.
