Abandoned Places

The Terrence Building towers sealed over Rochester, New York — a sixteen-storey 1959 psychiatric high-rise, emptied since 1995 and visible for miles. Its thousands of patients' history is told here with dignity first; the explorer-era telling stays firmly behind the fence with the sealed building itself.
