i think that "history" is better forgotten anyway, i worked there (1980)and it was TERRIBLE!!!!!!! ask geraldo rivera...he raided the place and exposed all of the horrifics on film on tv

i doubt that was real, but trust me they DID have alot of interesting things in glass jars in the morgue when i worked in the med/surg unit...(1980)

I worked in the Med/Surg unit after working in MU cottage. awful, just awful, try getting a job anywhere after working there, the Letchworth Village employee bad reputation preceeds you , even if you weren't one of the abusive caretakers (or therapy aids as were called.)

ty all for ur time and happie hunting

did you find those in the building with the pillars up by the light? I remember us kids from the Stony Point Child Care Center used to go bowling there as field trips.

oh, wow this is cool! I currently attend Fieldstone, it's a beautiful school and i'm glad they reused some of the old buildings.

Actually, Fieldstone Secondary School was built, which is what you can see in the picture. They took seven of the old buildings and connected them with newly constructed hallways. The majority of the school is new construction. Only the library, cafeterias, technology, and art classrooms use the old buildings.

To those who are unaware:
Letchworth Institution was built in accordance to a plan to help families with disabled children and adults. The institution took in the disabled people and for many years it worked great, but soon it worked too well and the places got over crowded to the point where it was unsafe closing buildings and shutting down the institution completely was the last resort. Letchworth did not Kill patients if there was no room, as for experiments.. yes, they were done but not in 'Dr.Evil' sort of ways. electrolysis and stuff like that were very popular in curing mental illness. As for the 'Underground tunnels' they do exist. Much like Disney World the tunnels provide a way for workers to get around indoors, they connected many of the buildings so the workers would not have to walk outside into the cold winter New York temperatures. As for the children who 'hang out' in these types of places are acctyuly destrying to property. These buildings are not old abstos filled which is bad for the children who are truspassing in these buildings but they are landmarks that will remain until some ungreatful money-seeker buys the property to make a condo-complex.. or 'children' keep buringing them down.. because of the stupid ideas of what is 'fun'.. police should keep better watch over these buildings so people stop destryoing them. Sorry for my bad spelling.. and inproper grammer.. I'm rusing to finish this because .. just because. thanks for taking your time to read this.. I very much so appericiate it.

Went there tonight, much bigger than i thought
