What's left of the old Whitby Psychiatric Ward?

What's left of the old Whitby Psychiatric Ward? I heard a lot of it has been torn down so I wanted to make sure there was still something there before I spend the money on gas to get there.

I've seen shots that people have taken there and I've always wanted to go. I remember reading somewhere that most, if not all, of the buildings have been torn down. Is this true or are there still some buildings standing that you can get to?

the most up to date info i can find is 2005.

here's a flickr group (says there are new photos, but the first dated photos are 2005)

and there's this, but again 2004/2005.

wiki says they're gone as of 2006.

for other abandoned psych hospital photos, i'm a big fan of rob dobi

I was last there around 2003, I believe. Looking at the google maps it seems to show the bungalows still existing. My google earth isn't working so I can't see what the date is on the satellite image.
