I remember the doctor who was in charge of all this. At the time(late 80’s-earlt 90’s) this study was ground breaking and he got a lot of noteriety for it. I also can vividly remember patients walking up and licking this display as well.

I believe these were the 2 ladies who worked in the phlebotomy department. Very nice people. If I remember correctly they worked on the 5th floor.

This building had a courtyard in the middle so what you see in the distance is the other side of the building.

This was on the 4th floor which is where the secured unit was and this had been done over more recently than the rest of the hospital so that’s why it is in better shape. I can remember when patients would smear shit all over the walls with there fingers. What a smell.

This was what they called a seclusion room where when patients went out of control they were locked in and monitored the entire time. One time a nurse was monitoring a patient and the door was open. He grabbed her and pulled her into the room and attempted to rape her but others heard and stopped him before he was able to.

I remember the days in the late 90's when me and my friends would play and hang out on that old coal dumper and the adjacent buildings all day. It's a great view of lower Manhatten and Staten island when your on the top. Good times there ended after 9/11 when security was tightened for an adjacent refinery and you could only get to the dumper by water. Now the refinery is shut down so I might visit it again sooner or later..

Thanks for posting these abandoned places photos.

I love how the lamp shade is still pristine.

Wow that's gorgeous!

Yeah I live near letchworth ville the door was probably blocked off

this place should have been restored no matter what the cost and used as our main hospital shame on the people responsible for allowing it to decay

Lots of great angles in this gallery.
