Abandoned Hospital on Angel Island

Constructed in 1911, this abandoned hospital is located on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay. Originally this was a 70-bed hospital where soldiers returning from overseas combat were treated. In 1918 an annex was added to care for men with lingering illnesses.

In 1954, when Angel Island had a Nike Missile site, the building was converted to a barracks. In 1962 the missiles were removed, but the abandoned East Garrison of Fort McDowell remains today. Stairwells and unstable structural elements have since been removed for safety, but the structures themselves can still be entered and explored. More from Angel Island here.
