Abandoned Veterans Village

Andy | Wednesday, April 03, 2019 | | Best Blogger Tips
Location: London, Ontario. Built in 1946, the Western Counties Health and Occupational Center served as a rehabilitation center for World War II veterans, not only as a physiotherapy center where vets could recuperate, but as training grounds to reenter civilian life. Over time, the patient population began to dwindle, and by 1984, patients were moved to new facilities. The building was completely abandoned by the year 2000.

    it needs a new life, agree. so it is cheaper to abandon than re-purpose, rent, sell... it seems like a nice building.

    A building that still remains seems to be in good condition and reminds us of a convent. Amazing

    Surely it could be turning into something wonderful.

    Seems a shame to let this building sit there empty. It looks in good shape.

    I imagine it would be quite costly to do anything with it now.

    A sturdy form for a wooden building.

    I wonder if the building can be reused for something else.

    Looks a nice building - it's a pity it can't be used for something!
    Great shot though.

    Nearly 20 years of disuse... can't be good. An interesting building, for sure.

    Always sad when a building is abandoned. Hope some one will find a good for it.

    Shame when a building is abandoned, especially when if looked after it could've have been housing for someone.
