It does look super cozy... it was most definitely not warm when I was there though!

Those CRTs go loud for sure.

Yup looks like a ironing board closet, seems like it fell out of there too.

Hard to say without further investigation, but this place was absolutely gigantic, so it would be unlikely... but who knows!

Yeah, I think it dripped off the end of the insulation and onto the mirror, kinda like a big stalactite.

I was drooling over that lovely scaffolding equipment too. Didn't give it a second thought back then though.

Yep it had a very Grossinger's style. I still haven't looked at my photos from there... yikes.

Yeah those old bulb lights along the ceiling are neat. Surely they were sequenced to direct people downward in a horrifying Borscht Belt version of the Las Vegas strip.

They were kinda cool, but man it took such a long time to dial a number...

Ah, interesting info, thanks!

Thanks Cameron, it sure looked like a steam connection but I've never seen a ceiling unit like that.

Hi Laura, unclaimed bodies of CI patients were buried at the hospital's cemetery, located here: https://goo.gl/maps/WTgDknN4B8MazqXG9

Yes the graves have numbers instead of names, as being a state hospital patient was highly stigmatized back in the day. Records might be accessed via NYS Office of Mental Health: https://www.omh.ny.gov...airs/medicalrecords/

Wow, it would be pretty amazing to see it go over the falls!

Thanks all!

Thanks steel worker!

I'd need a wood chipper here!
