They better not knowing what's going to happen it state police going in and out of there whenever. I personally wouldn't take that type of chance.. I was wondering how yall got away with that.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow it just get weird, I mean....as if I was walking through there w/ u guts, n it seemed so Erie ya know ?? Meaning that I would never think, that Hosp. Would be like that....its really a freaky feeling, that's my OPINION. But u guts did an AWSOME JOB w/ walking through all that shit n talking about it n all. Its ALL HISTORY HUNNIE. Pretty neat though....💖💗💕💙
I live across from this building and it’s an eyesore looking at it from the outside and to see the inside is just as worst. This once was a nice looking building so sad to see it decaying away.
@@chrisrodas10 It's still standing. I don't think it will be tore down anytime soon.The front doors and windows are open and anyone can go inside and do a tour of it.
I know Rose, I def. Hear ya !! My 1 N only Son was born there bak in 1992 !!! Wow, that's 28 yrs. Ago n can't believe its been that long already, time does go by too dam fast !!!💋💖💗💗😇😍💕
ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN WERE BORN THERE, MY COUSINS WERE BORN THERE. I WAS THERE IN 2002 FOR AN OPERATION, AND I LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE HOSPITAL AT 444 RUTHERFORD AVENUE. THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL HOSPITAL, IT MAKES ME SAD TO SEE THIS VIDEO SMDH!!
I got stitches in my head there after my brake cable detached from the trigger bracket amd got caught in my front spokes of my bike. I love exploring abandoned and defunct buildings. This tour is amazing. Thank you for filming it.
In the elevator equipment room, that black pulley mechanism with the governors weights, is the descent speed monitor. If the cables holding the elevator car were to break, the speed of the monitor cable turning the pulley would quickly increase pass the trip point. Then the descent speed monitor would lockup and hold the monitor cable which is attached to a brake mechanism on the elevator car that grips the guide rails and stops the elevator car from falling any further.
Oh okay got you. That's cool. I've always heard elevator service is a great paying field. Unfortunately auto mechanics is not the best pay. Hoping to eventually switch my career one of these days it's the right thing comes along
I am a Trenton life long resident! I was born to in that hospital in 1967 3 of my 4 children were born there also! We really needed that hospital! The city really needs to turn it off into something viable for the community!
Wow!!! I just came across this video today which is 1/28th/2022 and I'm so happy to get to see the hospital I was born in 54 years ago in 1967 Thank You.
Dad to see the building like this. I wish they would have done something with it. I was born here. Grew up around here with my mom working here and even volunteered here myself. 😔
I agree. It's incredible how much vandals and copper thieves have destroyed the building. I was also born there and always went there for all of my emergency needs.
I was born there in 1955. What's happening here is so sad, that Trenton is not worth being called the capital. They have nothing anymore. West Trenton used to be the best neighborhood in Trenton, with its tree-lined streets, wide roads, and huge beautiful houses. There are no good neighborhoods in Trenton any more. What's going to happen to it?
So sad to see one of the most popular hospitals in its time in such a deplorable condition. My four children were born here and I was here as a patient for several other reasons during the earlier years as well as other members of my family. We always had excellent doctors and care while there. I could never understand why they abandoned the buildings, left them go to ruin and never put them to another use. I assume they preferred not to be in the city. Although St Francis and Helene Fuld Hospitals are still going strong as city hospitals. When they built Capital at Hopewell, a beautiful new hospital in a desirable area. that was the positive demise of Mercer (briefly owned by Capital). I guess demolition of the entire site will be the answer now.
Really enjoyed this. I was born at there with my two brothers and my sister. Was shocked to see the place abandoned a decade ago. Thanks for risking your a$$3$ to post this.
Aww I had my daughter here, she was born Friday the 13th in may of 2011 one of the very last few to be born here . 😊 nice to see it again after 9 years .
I think that thing you were wondering about in the elevator room at 14:10 was a "free fall" emergency break for the elevator. Those bells were actually weights that would spin as the elevator moved, if they spun too fast they would spread further apart and engage a break.
Damn...my brother was born in this hospital 23 years ago. I remember being 5 years old going in there. So sad to see the residents of Trenton totally neglected.
I was born here, and both of my siblings were also. My best friend’s mother was an ER nurse here for years. My friends and I were candy stripers at Mercer in out early teens. We were tasked with collecting money from patients for the TVs and phones in their rooms. We filled up the patients pitchers with ice and water - they called it “passing ice.” All three of my boys were born here. Great memories.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I got memories of being in those halls. It was a time when doctors were God & acted that way. My relatives are in Jersey. My cousin is Joe Zook of The Blues Deluxe. Long time ago I lived on Princeton Ave. Thank you again!
In Princeton NJ when they stopped using the hospital both my kids were born in they immediately knocked it down and built new housing. The same does not happen in Trenton unfortunately.
Geesh ! I walked past it when it was fully functional hospital hundreds if not thousands of times as a kid and as an adult. Not sure, but I think they also had some sorta training center adjacent to the main building at one time. P.S. that area has changed ALOT over the years...y'all kinda stand-out like snowballs in July ! Thanks for the post, it brought back a lot of memories !
typical Trenton disgrace - when I moved here in 1991 this was an active hospital serving the needs of all the west ward residents - many who were (and are) very poor - Capital Health picked up and built a brand new state of the art hospital in Hopewell - not one politician intervened - they abandoned Trenton and its residents - this ws all about serving weathier patients - this will sit unaddressed for decades
Fuck yeah dude, just saw your other video on this place and I gotta check this one out too. I absolutely love this type of stuff. Would love to do an investigation on it if I were in NJ. Thanks again for sharing this, top notch work!
FWIW: The "heliport" was a section of the parking lot in front of the emergency room that was removed when the emergency room was renovated. I only saw it in use once in the time I worked as an EMT & Paramedic in the area (Over the last 30+ years that the hospital was open)
Interesting. I appreciate you filling me in on that. My mom was actually airlifted from that hospital to better equipped Hospital in Philadelphia many years ago when she had a brain aneurysm.
at the 14min/ 20 sec marker, that is an "OVER SPEED GOVERNOR" for the elevator, if it trips, it shuts down the drive motor( D.C.), and the motor/ generator set ( A.C. motor coupled to a D.C. generator)
The first entrance you entered (Dayton Building) was a state of the art Maternity wing (labor and delivery and nursery) back in the ‘60s & ‘70s. By the ‘80s it was just offices. You were also in the Mercer School of Nursing. I had an Aunt who graduated from there in 1939!
Born there 59 years ago next month...taken there for recovery after I fell out of a moving vehicle with a concussion 6 years later..when they showed the children's center I recognized the murals on the walls of the planets from my stay there, it was the first thing I saw when I woke up from the concussion; the narrators remarked that it smelled like a school in there; funny because when I woke up I thought I was at school!
It's sad to see a place where so much took place just empty and abandoned, falling in to decay. People lived and died here, some worked their whole lives in this hospital....those rooms were once filled with light and life, people working and living. And now just empty. It was a place that mattered to countless people...just incredibly sad now that it's over.
The mechanical bell looking thing is some sort of mechanical governor. In conjunction with an elevator its probably some sort of device to slow the descent of the elevator in the event of a failure of a cable .....just a guess
My son was born there in 1997. I used the prenatal clinic and the pediatric clinic until he was 1 yr. old. Could not speak more highly of the care. Comparable with Doylestown Hospital where I had my daughter 7 yrs later. Sorry to see it this way.
I remember going to the hospital when I was a kid, and several of my cousins were born there I was born in another hospital somewhere else but I remember going to visit my grandfather and a couple times I had to go to the hospital as well for myself. It’s a shame that they could not do anything better with this building, one of the greatest Gems of Trenton, now just an 8 story eyesore....Sad....Don’t get me wrong, the new capital Health in Hopewell it’s beautiful but they should have done something with this building after it closed.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Well shit that doesn’t sound good, Also, there’s an abandoned school next to the MLK school in trenton, should def make a video on it!
My family worked at this hospital, some in l&d, and I worked EMS bringing and taking patients in and out of here and across Trenton to other hospitals or we'll say "destinations". This brought back memories-- when you mentioned the helipad, when there's not a helipad a patient is brought by ambulance to the nearest field or clearing for a medivac. Some hospitals do use unused lots, but they're marked with lights and are actually made into a landing pad.
I was born in St Vincent's Hospital. It was located in Greenwich Village but went into bankruptcy. Or so they say. Condos were surly worth more than the hospital. So they say.
Obviously you're in my area lol. Have you ever explore the old Air Force factory in ewing? It looks like something out of a horror movie, especially the security gate with trees and Vines running through it . I'm trying to keep my nose clean out here but I do like a little adventure loo
We lived in Morrisville Pa and my first 2 children were born at Mercer, i just didn’t like the bridge crossing over to Trenton lol So sad the hospital shut down and now looks like this 😢 my kids were born in 1984 and 1986 🎉
What a shame they abandoned it. Now it is in Hopewell it is expensive, they have to pay for the $400 million investment. My daughter was born at the old hospital in 1987 and my wife worked there with a part time job when the kids were young. She worked just across from the morgue. I remember I would meet her for lunch periodically in the employees cafeteria which was great. It was very reasonable price too. She got a recipe for hearty Italian soup they made which we still have sometimes. I think they built the new hospital so that it would be in an area that would attract more paying customers.
The hospital where I was born,lived right across the street,11.23 is where he pointed to my old house on the rooftop.Hate to see this hospital like this.SMH
I was born at this hospital in 1994 I lived right across the street from for it 17 yrs I miss this hospital I work at the new one in hopewell and I hate it
I worked there in 2011 and 2012 after the hospital close I was considered maintenance let's just say it was an experience the 8th floor is rumored to be haunted buying a little boy just cool seeing it now after so many years
Ms. P2kscatz My older sister and my older sister's first child, my oldest niece, were both born there. My mom also worked there in maternity for 17 years, from 1993 to 2010.
Yeah definitely not worth stealing anything from a place like that. I've heard from several people that the police will use this building and others for dog training exercises. That would be scary if you heard them coming through with the dogs
I live down the street. It was once a very beautiful structure its one of many throughout the city thats being left to decay. I guess they feel the residents don't care but we do. The hospital should have never left the city in the first place.
First comment from my sister? Awesome. Glad you thought the video was cool. Check out the second one if you want to see the morgue. I still have to edit some footage and slap it together
That object in the elevator motor room is a Woodward governor where it regulates speed as the balls fly outward with centrifugal force it applies either brakes or throttle. When the Steam locomotives ran to fast the governors would release dangerous steam pressure. That's where you get the term Balls to the walls! Full throttle reference in the steam locomotives.
Trenton has a lot of spots to visit the hospital the projects but they knock those places down. Bellevue Hospital I remember when that place was abandoned and now they are in Hopewell New Jersey. Are used to walk through the hospital 🏥

And immediately built a new hospital that’s now PENN Medicine Princeton

100% accurate
If it makes you feel any better, capital health in hopewell sucks! My dad had surgery there and the nurses were horrible as was the service
the bit of kit in the elevator room with a 9 on it is a governor to control the lift speed,

She got a recipe for hearty Italian soup they made which we still have sometimes. I think they built the new hospital so that it would be in an area that would attract more paying customers.
I was born in that hospital when it was Mercer Hospital!!!!
The hospital where I was born,lived right across the street,11.23 is where he pointed to my old house on the rooftop.Hate to see this hospital like this.SMH
Thats awesome! and yea sucks to see. I went this hospital for everything until it closed
I was born at this hospital in 1994 I lived right across the street from for it 17 yrs I miss this hospital I work at the new one in hopewell and I hate it
I was born in this hospital and my dad worked there as well
I worked there in 2011 and 2012 after the hospital close I was considered maintenance let's just say it was an experience the 8th floor is rumored to be haunted buying a little boy just cool seeing it now after so many years
These guys are crazy touching things without gloves, in a old hospital.
We washed our hands afterward
I was born in that hospital!!! Really missed that’s place!
Me as well. It was definitely a great Hospital! Very friendly staff and good doctors
Ms. P2kscatz My older sister and my older sister's first child, my oldest niece, were both born there. My mom also worked there in maternity for 17 years, from 1993 to 2010.
Yall lucky the cops didn't come in there. I seen a lot of people get locked up for coming out with copper😂😂
Yeah definitely not worth stealing anything from a place like that. I've heard from several people that the police will use this building and others for dog training exercises. That would be scary if you heard them coming through with the dogs
I live down the street. It was once a very beautiful structure its one of many throughout the city thats being left to decay. I guess they feel the residents don't care but we do. The hospital should have never left the city in the first place.
Nice Chris!!!
First comment from my sister? Awesome. Glad you thought the video was cool. Check out the second one if you want to see the morgue. I still have to edit some footage and slap it together
My Dad died there....poor healthcare
That object in the elevator motor room is a Woodward governor where it regulates speed as the balls fly outward with centrifugal force it applies either brakes or throttle. When the Steam locomotives ran to fast the governors would release dangerous steam pressure.
That's where you get the term Balls to the walls! Full throttle reference in the steam locomotives.
I wanna go!!
Trenton has a lot of spots to visit the hospital the projects but they knock those places down. Bellevue Hospital I remember when that place was abandoned and now they are in Hopewell New Jersey. Are used to walk through the hospital 🏥
