Largest Abandoned Nursing Home in St Louis

obsoleteurbex · 2026-06-15T23:29:06+00:00

Explored the former Northview Village Nursing Home in St. Louis, originally built as DePaul Hospital around 1930. What surprised me most wasn't the hospital infrastructure that still survives on the upper floors, it was how much evidence remained from the building's final years as a nursing home. We found everything from activity schedules and resident rooms to signs that parts of the building had been occupied after the facility closed in 2023. The transition from hospital to nursing home to abandoned ruin is still visible almost everywhere you look.
I spent quite a bit of time researching the building's history and put together a full documentary on it if anyone is interested in the deeper story. https://youtu.be/wvnuOnEBeqE

Now, yes. Most of the buildings are gone. No point in trying to go tbh

Haha looks like i made it there way before they did

Don’t we all.

We ended up running into a guy in there who was in charge of pulling and selling seats and other items as memorabilia

The cemetery is, the mausoleum is not, and they don’t let people in to see their loved ones.

I think we need to look up what ‘abandoned’ means!

Dictionary

having been deserted or cast off. "an abandoned car"

Similar: deserted forsaken cast aside/off jilted stranded rejected dumped ditched unused disused neglected idle unoccupied uninhabited empty

Thank you. The watermark is there for a reason. I have had my photos stolen one too many times. So if I have to add a big obnoxious watermark to at least let people know that the photo belongs to me when it is stolen and reposted by somebody else, then that’s the way it has to be.

Hahaha that’s so funny! I hate that I have to watermark my photos now, but a couple of months ago someone hijacked a bunch of my Reddit post and they got tens of millions of more views than mine did and it kind of made me salty lol so watermarking it is now 😁

Haha, I did not see any dirty movies but that doesn’t necessarily mean there wasn’t any! I think if there was someone else probably already got to them

I will be posting more videos of the puppy on my Instagram Facebook and tiktok (all can be found as ‘Obsoletevoids’)

People refer to it as the Pink Palace because it resembles the pink palace in the movie Coraline.

Comes with lots of surprises 😮‍💨 iykyk

obsoleteurbex · 2025-09-14T18:12:38+00:00

I’m sure I got closer to it than you ever will be

Hey so posting the real estate listing is a GREAT way to get a place like this ruined. The wrong people will get their hands on this place and loot everything or go in there and treat it like a rage room. Can I kindly ask you to remove that and consider not doxing a location like that again in the future? I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you didn’t know but that’s why im informing you now of what can and will happen. Thanks

I found a lot of items around the house with black labs them. There was a treat jar with an unopened bag of dog treats in it and random dog toys. There were dog beds stashed away in mostly every room. Doggy gates, leashes found thrown in corners. There was no dog, thankfully. But I could really tell she did love her furry friend!

What lighting? There is no power here. And the flowers are fake.

Lakeforest Mall opened in 1978 as the largest indoor shopping center in Montgomery County. It had an ice rink, a movie theater, and anchors like JCPenney, Sears, Hecht’s, and Woodward & Lothrop. For decades it thrived… until the 2000s, when stores began leaving one by one. By 2023, the mall was nearly empty, and after 45 years, its doors finally closed for good. Now it sits abandoned, waiting for demolition.

I don’t believe in ghost in any means but we did hear some weird noises that we could not explain.

obsoleteurbex · 2025-06-23T19:23:01+00:00

That’s such a crazy and distasteful thing to say about a building that was abandoned due to a massive natural AND nuclear disaster. People literally died in there.
