Product Details
- Byberry State Hospital, located in Philadelphia County since 1906, was demolished in 2006 after being abandoned for 16 years.
- The hospital, initially well-intentioned, offered various amenities like a farm, bowling alleys, and a post office, but had abysmal conditions likened to Nazi concentration camps.
- Throughout its history, the hospital served as an educational institution, a site for a World War II Civilian Public Service conscientious objector unit, and a volunteering hot spot before its eventual decline.
- At its peak, Byberry housed over 6,000 patients but is now remembered for its abandoned state, attracting urban explorers intrigued by its history.
- This book, 'Byberry State Hospital (Images of America),' offers a comprehensive look into the forgotten history of the hospital, providing insight into its good, bad, and unusual aspects.
- The book was published on May 20, 2013, and is available in paperback format.

Cities Editorial Review
Byberry State Hospital Images of America Paperback is a book full of historical photos of the infamous mental institution, and while some readers found the book interesting, others were disappointed. A reviewer who lived near the hospital found it shocking to read about the disturbing past of the hospital. Another reviewer found the book to be a good read and appreciated the quick delivery. However, one buyer who had worked in the mental health system was disappointed with the lack of text in the book despite its many photos. They also complained about the poor quality of the book, citing that it was falling apart just after receipt. Another purchaser disagreed with this review, stating that the book had a "good amount of history with each photograph." Overall, the book is recommended for those interested in the history of mental institutions, but the quality of the book may be subpar.
