Another great off-angle hallway shot. "Follow the yellow-striped hall!"

I used to work at a movie theater that had been converted from a Vaudeville theater....before we carefulyy constructed a new theater out of what used to be the backstage area we all got a tour....it was incredible to feel the energy of all the people that once performed there. I didn't want to go into the dressing rooms underneath the stage....I'd been told there was a sizeable jumping spider population down there....EIW!!! YICK!!!!

YEOWCH, THAT one will come down with a big crash!

More Sterile Than English Hospitals For Sure

Yes Because The Lovelly People At The UN And The Geneva Convention Would'nt Be Too Happy Would They? Great Work By The Way Motts, I Want To Get Into Urban Exploration But There Is Hardly Anything In The UK Because They Knock It Down As Soon As It Doesnt Provide A Function, Which Is A Shame.

Looks like some pipes on the floor behind it. Maybe there used to be a bathtub there and the curtain was for privacy or something.

"Oh Captain, my Captain!"

They were growing unstable, but many people complained that they were an eye-sore.

So far in my exploratioin of this site (the past three and a half days), I've seen the one with the multicolored iron lungs....maybe that's what you're thinking of? Haven't seen the whole site yet though.

yes this story took place at Pilgrim and it was in one of the old wards that had been converted into a teen narc center.

This is actually the rear of the building, the front faces the entrance off the pwky. I am sure in its prime the building was quite nice. There was a massive scale model layout of the comple and a huge libary with psych books, including books on NY stats hospitals and archives. the admin bldg also housed the hospitals offices and a bell.

Wow that is something. One of my friends grandmothers was the chief nurse on one of the wards at Pilgrim back in the 30's and she also attended the nursing school. I have also met several formar graduates of the nursing school, and yes, doc's and nurses were reguarly traded over to Edgewood or else where, and all of those nurses went on to work in the State Hospitals across the state. In fact most of Edgewoods staff was housed at Pilgrim and there are still graduates of the nursing school still alive today in that it was operational well into the late 70s.

this one looks like the roof just collapsed in.

i cant believe someone would climb into one of those slabs just to put their names. what a horrifying thought going in there

looks pretty good considering
