suprised if their not all smashed you know how kids are today.Be very surprised if their still that way even though i dont see many broken windows there
These photographs are fantastic! The subject matter conjures up thoughts of lives lived in this facility over the years.
You have captured the sadness in these remnants left carelessly behind.
I do not believe this is the building that housed the nursing home facility - in operation until the county of Oneida closed it about 10 - 13 years ago.
That building was not Jensen Hall. I worked in both of these buildings - the nursing home from '67 to '70 and Jensen Hall, with children, during the 80's and 90's.
Although all of the buildings were used as a sanitorium for TB patients when it was first built and it incompassed all of the grounds. I am aware of this through researching the history of Broadacres and having family members as patients with TB... some of whom died there.
Nahh you dnt wanna go there Sy Maggies is much beta :-P
it is 100% haunted i have taken pictures and figuers have appeared they look like they use to work in the old asylums they are wearing black dresses with masks demonds live in the tunnles big stars drawn onto ceilings objects get thrown at you and whimpers that sound like they are coming from an old man 100% spooky XD
btw, anyone feel free to embed the photosynth here on your site, if you want. I tried to do it in my last post, but unsuccessful (the <iframe> tag inclusion ended with the quotation marks)
I know you guys find Byberry cool and scary but it is very real and sad for me. Looking at the pictures makes me want to cry.I use to visit my grandfather there in the 60,s. He was an alcoholic and poor during the depression. Byberry was state funded.He went in during the early 40,s. Our family would go to visit. My Dad would go in and get him and we would go to one of the big fields for a picnic. You are so lucky today that there are rehabs and medicines to help with most problems. May those poor people rest in peace.
Today when I drove to Poughkeepsie, I suddenly saw this building, and I immediately stopped to take pictures. What a fascinating house that is! And what a shame that nobody took care and let it decay!
I imagine that this is a house where a princess would be inside, sleeping for 100 years, then waiting to be kissed awake (by me of course! - no, I am not a frog, that is another fairy tale).
I searched Google for "millbrook old house mansion derelict" and found this site - now I know what this house is about
I will post here once I have my pictures online - will create a photosynth from it.
