Hi I was wondering if anyone know where this place is located I tried to fiind it but could not Thanks

Good place for a homeless shelter getting people back on their own feet, or a place to rent rooms to people trying to get their lives back together after this horrible recession.

Laws and acceptance of people is so different today than it was in the past. I worked at a State School/Developmental Center in the 1970s. This would have been a standarized goal plan to get someone to eat.

In the past anyone developmental disability was not accepted in society so often people took their children to these centers because they were forced to lest it hurt the rest of the family in moving forward. Societies views of people, and the people that bore them was horrendous.

There are even cases of children being left at these centers when money was short in families and then the State not giving them back when the family was back on level footing.

Wives were also often taken to these centers when a man wanted to move on to a new woman but didn't want to deal with a divorce. Until the late 1970s, a woman was still basically the property of her husband in many ways. He could have her confined on the word of one physician buddy.

There were horrible times in the past, and wokring at one of these institutions was a very depressing and demanding time. You felt bad, but could only do so much. Reagan cut funding in the 1980s which caused many of them to close. Unfortunately, it also left many with no where to go, hence the number of homeless we now have on our streets.

I worked in the state school system in NY state, I am betting this was used for sterilizations.

The company who owns this complex is looking for donations to help rebuild and staff the place - http://www.kirkbridebu...dson-olmsted-complex.
