Creepy Hospital, 1/5/17. Afterwards, vandals broke in leading the police to lock the east wing so the morgue and second infirmary are inaccessible. The floors also were warped with fire damage, roof leaks, scrappers, and rust.

After the first visit, we explored more of the building, but thanks to vandals, the owners deadbolted the east wing from access. The hospital was in even worse shape with fire damage, flooding, leakage, scrappers, etc.

The hospital opened in 1926 as a health facility for the northern Pasadena community at 2632 E Washington Ave. It began to decline in profit by the early 1990's, and it was sold to Tenet Healthcare in 1997. Tenet poorly managed the building and assets, leading to a decline in patient care and profit. By 2001 Tenet planned to close the hospital despite city officials rejecting the idea because the second nearest urgent care facility was 6 miles away at Huntington Hospital. By January 5th 2002, the owners began phasing out the different services: radiology, cardiology, birth Ward, and finally urgent care. It abrubtly closed on April 5th 2002 at 9:00 PM. Much of the interior furnishings remained until 2010 when Caltech purchased the property and auctioned off most the furnishings. Caltech later had no plans for development in the Hospital and sold the property in 2012 to the City of Pasadena. Unable to decide what to reuse the property for, the hospital sits deserted to this day. Vandals began breaking in, trashing the hallways, spraying graffiti on the walls, and traces of drugs and bullet holes can be found. The roof also leaked due to scrappers removing piping leading the rainwater and still-running water to leak into the ceilings and floors creating warped linoleum and walls to bend or crack altogether. On February 6, 2017, vandals set fire to the lower levels forcing the LACFD to condemn the building.
