Last week, Jonathan Shikes shared urban-exploration photos snapped inside vacant CU medical buildings, as originally shared on uer.ca, a fascinating address devoted to documenting urban exploration across the country. Turns out the website has a page devoted specifically to Denver, with several featured buildings having been demolished since the photos were taken — meaning that the images are the last reminders of these vanished ruins. Look below to see shots from five of these memorable wrecks, with extra info from uer.ca. CustomArt Industries

It had been a storage facility before it caught fire in September of 2010. It’s my understanding that even before the fire, the building was vacant and taggers had already claimed it. Since the fire the building remains a “Taggers Paradise” and a spot frequented by squatters.
