Taken inside the reception lobby of the Jones Building of Central State Hospital in Georgia.

Construction on this building. the only hospital in the county, was completed just before 1930 and remained in operation for nearly 50 years.  It contained a clinical lab, x-ray department and morgue.

Pano inside the lobby of the Jones Building

The Jones building at Central State Hospital in Georgia was constructed between 1928-1929 and was designed as a medical and surgical hospital complete with clinical lab, x-ray department and morgue. During the time, it was the only hospital in this county. 

Sadly, the Jones Building closed in 1979 and has sat vacant since.

This was the last location we explored during our trip to the Southern United States last May. 

I was so ecstatic to find a mostly in-tact morgue with drawers and doors. I realize that may sound "crazy" to most people, but it's an artifact of these asylums/hospitals that is usually destroyed or full of graffiti.

This building was constructed between 1928 - 1929 and named after the hospital's superintendent at the time. It closed in 1979 and has been abandoned since.
