Old Bryce Mental Hospital was an African-American hospital in Alabama. It opened in 1882 and had a very cruel life up until the 1960’s when it was forced to close. All the remaining patients were moved to the current Bryce Hospital, also located in Tuscaloosa. The hospital is also known as S.D. Allen Nursing Home and the Jemison Mental Instution.
The hospital’s site has been many times the scenery of vandalism. Trespassing is forbidden but it happen more than once people, mostly teenagers, have started fired and broken windows on the property. Because of the vandalism it is very dangerous to walk around the site as there is many broken glass and the parts of the buildings are threatened to collapse. Asbestos is also present. Many people are also convinced the old hospital is haunted. Some have heard children’s laughter in the old children’s ward.
