I hope the person that did this is haunted by the person that they disrespected. What a disgrace.

My heart hurts that these folks were just forgotten and now remain like this. Something should be done to reinter them.

Yes, the numbers were used to prevent social stigma of having a family member name tied to a state hospital, although I disagree on your blanket statement - the early days of the asylum era were often bleak, but not everyone was "left there to die;" many committed family members were visited regularly, and quite a few patients were voluntarily admitted on their own behalf.

Thanks for the update, too bad it got so trashed!

The adds on this site are a bizzare compliment to the images and text, for example: Ketamine for Depression and Bioidentical, Anti-Aging Executive Physicals. The sort of treatments and therapies you would expect to find practiced on Hart Island in its heydey. What the hell does "bioidentical" mean? And treating depression with a cat tranquilizer? What mountebank thought that up? Depression is best treated as it was always treated on Hart, with beatings and ice cold enemas!

I didn't notice back in the day, but Fla. Gator is right, there is a gap of at least a foot above the fire door. Between that and the room on the left the door couldn't be more useless.

I like the quote marks.

Amazing spiral staircase

Wow I don't think I've ever seen an intact (or at least an intact looking) organ in an abandoned building before

This room must've been pretty cool looking when it wasn't trashed by vandals

It's unbelievable how nice the curtains look still after sitting in an abandoned building for years
they almost look like they are brand new

It's interesting that the sink is still holding on despite the wall around it is crumbling
