Not a thing has changed. I just hear how much my mother loved this and it's such a shame. But I don't agree with the fire story though. Not with this one. what a shame but we made sure we got a peice of the wall.

It hardly looks like that now...its all smashed, overgrown and nothing tall is still standing.

That still stands...

I just saw this...there is nothing standing here, its just the steps still painted.

This is such a ghost town now. That sign that just kind of automatically makes you upset like that.

I just broke in a filmed all this. I do not remember the park because i am only 17 but it is very sad. RI will never be the same.

what are those squares above the doors?

They look a tad beat up to me. They prbably donated the good ones. What you see is the dross

Bond~That's a great point!

Quite a few over the years. I'm sure a few of the 700 people buried there were suicides. I know of at least 5.

I'm just curious on why these wheelchairs were not donated to another hospital when the place closed.

motts is this place by a school the school is a big mansion

I agree with Motts on 93...The problem appears to be with the FACADE and not the central steel columns or floors. I have never found a sagging floor in this building. Facades can be repaired, as they are doing at Pilgrim 81-82-83 group again. I tend to disbelieve the state finding the building beyond repair, since this lean has been reported since the 1950's, it should have gotten worse by now ! It is self serving BS to get funds for demolition just like it was at Edgewood after the fires... nothing was wrong that could not be fixed and a developer was willing to fix that one and it still was not allowed due to politics.

And kppc 7, 22, etc are all FINE as far as structure goes. look at the medial surgical at Central Islip... IT was renovated into modern office space a few years ago. When there is a will there is a way.

I object to the "tear down every last building" comment. Most of the buildings at KPPC can still be renovated if we just get past our penchant to keep erasing our history. Will it be cheap? NO! But it will cost almost as much to tear down everything because of the 100% abatement that has to be done. In a renovation you only have to abate (or encapsulate) EXPOSED asbestos, not the stuff hidden inside walls.

If I would have seen that chair after already seen the movie I just might have wet my pants !!!
