50-year-old abandoned Florida bomb. Treasure island inn, daytona beach, FL. My boyfriend and I spent 3 weeks in Daytona Beach, FL (a hotbed of abandoned places) and found an 11-storey abandoned hotel that had stood there for the last 40 years.
We spent about 4 hours exploring and reading packages of unopened documents behind the reception desk. As far as we can tell, it closed in 2004 when a hurricane casue immense structural damage. The began renovating and even had floor plans drawn up by an architect but for some reason they just have up and left. There were security patrols until 2007, but since then its just been left to vandals and the homeless. Florida's Forgotten History.
