Dammash State Hospital, Wilsonville, Oregon

It is very sad to say but little of this building is left. It wasn't hard to tell where the building used to be though, under all the large new houses. But if you continue down on the the roads near it, I believe but I'm not positive that it was either 110Th or the one parallel to it. You'll come across a building in the distance, that seems to be all that's left. But it was definitely cool to check out. There was a pool and a cafeteria and some small little "cabins" where possibly patients or nurses stayed. The building was pretty stable too, I didn't feel like the roof was going to collapse on my head. Tons of broken glass though as usual.

STATUS: Most websites say that it has been completely demolished but there is still a single building left.

INFORMATION: This institution was opened in 1961 and closed in 1995.

IS IT WORTH SEEING?: If you're looking for hospital beds, and morgues and all that fun stuff you're not going to find it here. All that is long gone and rich people are living on top of the ashes. But it's still cool to see. There were also no No Tresspassing signs that I could find so thats a plus. When we were leaving this big guy was walking up and asked us something about if we were the ones packing stuff in. I wasn't sure what he was talking about but we said no and he asked if there were other people in there and we said yes and he asked where and we said we didn't know and he continued in the building. But if he were to catch you it seems like you would just be told to leave.
