URBEX HILL | Exploring Abandoned Historical Observatory @URBEXHILL | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 25 minutes ago.
In this video I revisited the Warner and Swasey Observatory located in East Cleveland, Ohio.
The Observatory was built between 1918, and 1920, by Worchester Warner & Ambrose Swasey.
They were the owners of the Warner and Swasey company, Which made precision instruments and telescopes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The observatory was donated to the Case School of Applied Science in 1919 by Warner & Swasey.
The observatory originally housed a 9.5" refractor telescope.
In 1939 the observatory acquired a 24" Burrell Schmidt telescope.
And in 1941, They built a second dome to house the new telescope, and at the same time they decided to build a lecture hall and an astronomical library for the facility. In the 1950s light pollution from the development of East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights began to make it impossible to do astronomical research in the area as a result a new site was constructed in Geauga county, but the observatory in East Cleveland continued to conduct astronomical research into the 1970s. Until it was abandoned in 1982. In 1983, the observatory was sold and still left completely abandoned and remained neglected until 2005, when it was sold to a couple who started renovations and planned on converting the building into a residence. But their plans came to a stop when the owner was convicted of mortgage fraud and sent to prison in 2007. As of 2021, the building still sits abandoned completely exposed to the elements. The future is unknown for this very historic building.
Unsettling ominous vibes from this place.
Although I didn't feel creeped out.
Watch the full video to see whats coming soon.
14:35 looks like something walking back into the building.
