What waits within
Step Inside
Three buildings. More than a century and a half. The Church, the Setz Building, and the Administration Building have watched over the Emmaus valley since 1859 — and after dark, they are anything but empty.
The wards, the corridors, the stairwells — photographed exactly as we found them. Then come see them with the lights off.
