I graduated from SLPC in 1978. I remember the vast rooms and the shock therapy chambers. A lot of history there. It was once a very productive place, a farm on the grounds and the women used to make gorgeous quilts and rag rugs. They had a sale every year and my grandmother used to take us to the State Hospital sale in the spring. I still have one of the beautiful quilts she purchased.

actually these chairs are quite comfortable. I have one in my office and i spend a couple of hours in it per day. I like it!

Squatters?

What was the duct tape or whatever for?

How depressing

No thanks

I'm not sure what it is about this picture, but I got chills looking at it. Great picture!

Looks a lot like this photo of St. Lawrence Psych. Center from another part of this website:

Looks like an old washing machine lol

I have really bad eyesight but I'm pretty sure I could see that from 50-60 ft away maybe

Tears come to my eyes as I look through these. My grandmother was a patient here after having a "nervous breakdown" due to my grandfather having an affair. I believed Gramma when she said it was his way of getting her out of the way for awhile.

Can I use some of these photos for my youtube commercial project. I'll definitely link back this site as courtesy or credit.

These images are beautiful and unsettling.

These halls and corridors were incredible when I worked there. I worked Center Kitchen .

the ogdensburg psych center is in my home town. I worked on the close down of the buildings. these rooms were are all washed from top to bottom. And all contents in the buildings were removed. it took a crew of about 150 people 3 months to get this work done. the nicotine was so thick on the walls some had to be washed 3 times.
