Inside Creedmoor State Hospital’s Building 25

Guano accumulated in gray mounds underneath the pipes of sprinkler systems where birds have come to roost. According to AbandonedNYC, this bathroom holds the largest volume of fecal matter in the facility.

Instead of mirrors, the bathroom walls hold metallic sheets that patients could use as weapons.
