there is a un named graveyard for those dearly departed patients. on the grounds of the hospital, it's been there since the early days of the hospital

I worked in a state hos. it s a stiaght jacket

Beautiful. Very Gorey-esq in the B&W.

even in decay the work is still so beautiful , you took some amazing pictures

i too watched a special on dixmont, is it true that the doctors really tortured the patients there? if so that is a awful thing to do. my cosin works in an institution for the mentally ill, it also is in an building and she too has heard about doctors doing very bad things to the mentally ill back in the 40's,50's,60's. i find so sad to hear that people were to take care of them and they hurt them instead......

kp nurse did you attend nursing school at kings park if so what yr did you graduate? My mom went there and she tells me stories all the time and I have alot of memories there , Alot of my family worked there and when I was younger living in KP i can remember the patients getting day passes and coming into town they never bothered anyone , until the NEW people moved in and made a big stink KP was such a nice town with all the old timers in it and the families that have roots there know what I am talking about . I have strong roots in Kp and i wish it was stil the old town

Fantastic photo

most of my family worked here, my grandparents worked here back in the 40's and lived on the grounds and my grandfather worked in the power house until he retired , I remember seeing this mural when I was a little girl, my mother was a nursing supervisor in this building

OMG when I came across this link I could not believe it, how sad is this! this park was a big part of my childhood we went there alot during the summers off as kids for picnics and birthdays to see these pictures is so sad that a place like this is just forgotten about, its a shame it cant be restored in the place its at I sent this site to all of my sisters I am sitting here looking at a picture of My mom and I sitting in that blue whales mouth near the lake god you talk about bringing back Memories

way to end the gallery, such an ominous shot! Almost like a final glance before the old doors are shut for some other explorer to open once again in the distant future, or perhaps never again...

I cant believe all of this is still intact, and hasn't been stolen!

BRILLIANT!

This building is supposedly one of the more haunted ones on all of the grounds. Pretty creepy things took place in this building from what I've read and heard, lobotomies, other medical experiments, creepy stuff...

magical. almost looks like you could crawl through it...into another world!

This is the second time I've seen light's on in a "abandoned" power plant. Creepy!!
