Eloise Asylum and Mental Hospital 1985

[savafan95]

Man, I used to live down the street from there, is there any footage floating around anywhere that is from when it was open in the 60's or 70's?

Do you mind if I use a couple of seconds of this in my film about Eloise, I will give you credit.

@bestsupscriptions I have to decline. Sorry. Somebody else paid for the hi def transfer is trade for use of the footage.

I didn't think they started demolishing Eloise that far back. It still stood for a long time after it was closed.

@LisaBaby67 They demolished parts of it in the mid 80's. As seen on my film. The buildings they took down were along Merriman and west of the powerhouse. I was there and saw it. Look at :55

@northvilletunnels I didn't even know when they started tearing it down. I used to drive past it almost every day. I wish they'd left it there.

[northvilletunnels]

@LisaBaby67 I agree. i wish they had left everything alone. I remember when the barn burned down in 84 or 85. I figured the county did it to save money.

@northvilletunnels Probably. My husband was born in that hospital. (When it was a county hospital, not a mental asylum. lol)
