    The History

    Tranquille has from my count, 51 buildings containing over 25,000 sq. meters of rooms ranging from single bedrooms to large public rooms. The buildings are of various sizes from 3-bedroom houses to multi-storey hospitals, cafeterias, a central laundry and gymnasium. The buildings and landscaped grounds cover approximately 25 hectares of the total property. The buildings were built at various times from 1910 until into the 1970's. Some are in excellent condition while others require extensive renovations. All buildings were centrally heated through steam. A network of underground service tunnels interconnects most of the larger buildings. It was a city all on it's own, producing it's own meat, dairy, vegetables and fresh water supply. The only thing it had to import from Kamloops was electricity. Until the 1950's it was a Tuberculosis treatment centre. In the 50's it became a sanitarium. After serving as a sanitarium it was shut down due to the costs of replacing the asbestos used as insulation in the walls and currently sits untouched except by local youth, 15 min past the kamloops airport.

    yo lyra, the mental hosptial near me is exactly like that, like the
    history ive read on it i can almost quote it to what you posted.
    its all just like a whole private community and crap and like they produced their own stuff
    and theres like 5 miles of tunnels connecting the buildings,
    i read theyre for maintnence but they were also used for transportation in the winter.

    some of it makes the places seem really boring so its better not to know sometimes.
    but theres still all the wacky stuff that went on in these places, like back when
    science hadnt proved what works and what doesnt, and they were doing crazy
    treatments and experiements to the patients.

    i think most of it is curiosity, just wondering what happened in these places when they were in use. its great.

    ^haha..

    that last building was in use until the 90s but the top floors were closed in the 70s so you could imagine how dangerous they are up there. the place is relatively lacking in graffiti, some of it looks better that way.

    i looked at half these pictures last night at 1 in the morning after getting back from seeing "the hills have eyes" and this picture scared the shit out of me. first time ive been really freaked out in years. i used to live in town that was party of the american industrial revolution back in the 1800's and there was entire city blocks of abandoned buildings, freaky shit when your 13.

    yeah i want to see 'the hills have eyes', that stuff is crazy to me. and that sounds sick about the 1800s city, so many things happened back then and were jus forgotten about. i just checked out an abandoned YMCA, when the pictures get developed ill post them..
