I used to live very close to this asylum and would drive by often. It always fascinated me and I always slowed down to get a better look. It was already abandoned by that time and I always wondered what it looked like inside and what spirits remained. I haven't lived in that state in years but thought about this place from time to time. On a snowy night in NC tonight, It crossed my mind again and so glad I did, so that I can get a glimpse of the inside. So happy I came across this site. Happy New Year everyone.

Hey guys. I was just at letchworth about 2 weeks ago, it looks nothing like the pictures, everythings turned to shit. My friend did although lay on one of the trays in the morgue and we took pictures, but it still didn't look anywhere near as well put together as it does in the picture. Everything's in terrible condition now, and it wasn't that scary at all.

I actually just went there today and its in pretty rough condition but it's definately not torn down. Many of the smaller buildings across the street from the main one ahve been converted to apartments.

I just wanted to say thank you for posting these!
My family history IS Studebaker. Great great great grandfather and uncles. I've done a lot of family research but actually getting to see into a plant once used is something I never could have found without your amazing photography. So thank you again!

I had a few friends who found this place, on accident. They said there were needles everywhere.

MJ, I am truley intrigued by your story. Please tell me more about what happend to the state hospital when you were there. It would be greatly appreciated.
