The OES visited the Town Street Medical Building in July of 2003. Located in downtown Columbus, this large medical professional building had been abandoned since 2002 when 4MX Partners bought the building from the US HealthStar Corp. The building served for many years as the offices of about 20 doctors. The structure was considered very outdated and was in need of repair. Instead of renovating the building, the owners closed it, leaving behind furniture, electronic equipment and medical supplies. Much of the building seemed to be in good shape, but there was obviously some water damage from leaking pipes. Ceiling tiles hang down and the carpet was extremely damp in the areas that surrounded the leaks. We were quite surprised to find shelves full of prescription drugs, bandages and IV bags left behind. There were also tubes of urine and blood left in the lab area and used needles laying on the floors. Computer hardware and software, patient files and other medical records were left in the building as well. We wouldn't recommended that anyone attempt entering this building as it is monitored closely and is extremely dangerous due to the bio-hazardous materials left behind. Police routinely patrol the area, armed guards are present inside the building quite often and is monitored by a burglar alarm whenever a guard isn't present. We've spoken with some of the guards who have said they think the place may be haunted. There's a general eerie feeling in the basement and mysterious noises can be heard when it is quiet. Apparently a few people have died in the building.

UPDATE 04/22/2011: We have received word that this building has been demolished.
