Map of Old Silent Hill

A map of Old Silent Hill.

Old Silent Hill is primarily a residential area located in Paleville, usually ignored by people on vacation. It is the first environment visited by Harry Mason during his journey in Silent Hill. It consists of the streets Bradbury, Bachman, Bloch, Ellroy, Finney, Levin, Midwich, and Matheson. Notable locations in Old Silent Hill include Midwich Elementary School, Cafe 5to2, and Balkan Church.

Silent Hill[]

While driving his Jeep to Silent Hill, Harry Mason accidentally swerves off the side of a steep cliff while trying to avoid a figure on the road. He awakens with his Jeep crashed into a fence on the north end of Bachman Rd. and soon discovers his daughter is missing. The protagonist eventually sees her in the distance and follows her through an alley located on Finney St. However, he is overcome by monsters and soon awakens in Cafe 5to2. He meets Cybil Bennett, and after encountering yet another monster in the cafe, he backtracks to the alley to discover a message from Cheryl's scrapbook saying, "To School". Harry comes to the conclusion that Midwich Elementary School must be the school the message was referring to, and while exploring Old Silent Hill, discovers that all roads to the school are blocked. On the west end of Matheson St., Harry sees a message on the ground saying, "Doghouse Levin St.". Following the clue, he discovers a key inside of a dog house on Levin St. and unlocks the front door of the house. Inside the house, he discovers a map and a locked door that requires three keys.

After finding the three keys, Harry unlocks the door and makes his way to Midwich Elementary School. Inside, he finds monsters, but no sign of his daughter; however, he does briefly see Alessa Gillespie. Harry hears bells in the distance and correctly assumes that they are church bells. He makes his way through K. Gordon's house and into the Balkan Church. Harry meets Dahlia Gillespie here for the first time and also obtains the Flauros and the drawbridge key on the altar. He enters the Orridge Bridge Control Room and lowers the drawbridge to Central Silent Hill.
