I love your website. I would like to add that it breaks my heart to see the religious property left behind. Families gave money to purchase all of this. Why does the Church not re-use these items for new churches being built? It makes me so sad.

I was lucky enough to tour part of the hospital during a visit to the Medical Records Department. I worked at a different facility in Lansing and came to see how different YSH was, and boy, was it!! Such a shame these old facilities were torn down. Whenever I'm down that way now, I look off to where the grounds once were and remember what a magnificent place it was!

Brelinka I was there from the time I was 13-15 as well. I can remember having to walk the mail from the south to north building. Your description is dead on of our day rooms. I remember we had some pretty cool staff members unless you pissed them off then they would send me to the quiet room or even worse 4 point restraints. I hated that place!

My grandmother was only 36 years old when she died at Pilgrim State Hospital, leaving behind three very small children (the youngest being my mother). I was able to get copies of her transcripts from the hospital many years back. This place has always held a fascination for me and these photographs are hauntingly beautiful.

NOIP, I also lived in the Bowland Unit, two years from 1989-1991. As it turned out, it was the most important event of my adult life so far!
Don't live in Lancs so I'm dearly wishing I'd thought to go back and pick up a few souvenirs.
Farewell Cam House.

My grandmother died at Pilgrim State in the 1930s. It was a bit of a family mystery for years and eventually I was able to obtain her medical records from the facility. Seemed like a very sad place to be.
