The old state home at Boone
Iowa · United States · Hospital
The structure is collapsing in on itself and is due for demolition. The county has posted it because of what visitors were doing.
Yelling and screaming have been reported at this old state nursing home and hospital at Boone, Iowa, along with figures walking about.
An update filed in September 2004 changed the situation. The building is falling in on itself and is slated for demolition, and the county has posted it against trespass, because people from Des Moines and the surrounding area had started coming out to it.
That sequence is the entry, and it repeats across this whole archive. A derelict institution acquires a reputation, people drive out to it at night, and the authority responsible ends up fencing, patrolling and eventually demolishing it.
The reputation costs the county money and it costs the building its remaining years.
The site is posted and the structure is genuinely unsafe.
