I went here last night it was very creepy and dilapidated there seemed to be multiple people staying there or were staying there it was actually quite sad there was empty suitcases old mattresses abd someone even brought a bunkbed in there whats worse though is the amount of toys scattered around suggesting that children had been or stayed there overall very spooky place
I worked here when I was 18 years old , that is like 40 years ago. Gosh this place was full of people. I remember what it looked like , the beds were all lined up in rows, nice shiny tiled floors , bathrooms were a little ugly , and smelled very bad. My job was in housekeeping , and one day as I was in my little utility closet filling my bucket to wash floors, one of the residents came in and shut the door, there was no where for me to go , it was a closet with a sink and some cleaning supplies ,she shut the door slapped me in the butt , laughed and left. Let me tell you at 18 I was really scared. There was another women there who sat out in the stairwell screaming all day long, she didn't stop that is what she did. I can't believe it is 40 years later. I would love to go back and look around , can you even get in that place anymore. Do they still have buildings on the property ? Well I just wanted to share my story.
Yes pookie she was tall and she acted like a queen. That was the ward i was on. I was also thr one who painted spider man on the wall in the younger kids room.
Very nice photos. Sounds like a great adventure, kayaking in the Hudson in April to this place. It must have been beautiful in its day. I have a reproduction catalog of the company, that used to fuel daydreams of "what if I were born in the 1940's, what would I have bought for a few dollars?"
