Cedarcrest in Newington, CT is an abandoned hospital that was built in 1910 when it was originally named The Hartford County Home for the Care and Treatment of Person's Suffering from Tuberculosis (a very long name, I know). Luckily, 2 decades later the name was changed to Cedarcrest Sanatorium, but also continued to treat those diagnosed with tuberculosis and other diseases in the 1960's. In February of 1976, the campus became a part of the Department of Mental Health and was reopened as a psychiatric facility known as the Cedarcrest Regional Hospital. The new hospital helped those who suffered from mental disorders and addictions, but eventually closed in 2010. There are some rumors that the building may be haunted, but there is no proof that the rumors are true.
I visited the hospital on the same day that I did with Johnsonville. Although we didn't get to go inside because of certain reasons that I will explain later, we did get some amazing pictures of the outside.
If you would like directions the hospital is in Newington, CT on Russell Road just off the Berlin Turnpike. Remember enter at your own risk, stay safe and respect authority.
The reason we did not get to go inside is because while we were taking pictures, a police car rolled up beside us and the police man inside asked us what we were up to. We told him we were only taking pictures and in no way were going to deface any of the property. He understood and was very lenient about what we were doing. He proceeded to tell us that the hospital had recently been broken into by an unknown person and had been robbed of its copper piping. There were a lot of people looking into the story and he was just watching the property to protect it. He very nicely told us that he would've loved to let us in and give us a tour, but wasn't allowed to because of the recent robbery.
Here are the only pictures I could capture of the place.
