samantha, lorraine, any specific stories of torture, or just speculating? they had a morgue because they were a hospital, and people die more frequently at hospitals than in other places.
makes sense to have a place to put those stiffs on ice so they don't spoil before you eat them. ;)
Holly, do you know any specific stories or is it just too horrible for you to tell? Letchworth was supposed to have been better than other similar places.
I have a photo of a sink in this building in a different bathroom that is also filled with plaster. I didn't notice it when I took the picture but there is no spigot on the faucet; there is instead something styled like a third knob. So not only did they take the time to plaster the plumbing, they replaced it decoratively! And even more strange: the soap is still in the soapdish. I'll post the photo later and re-comment with a URL.

I was the Head Physical Therapist from 1994-1996. When I first started in 1993 they were still using this with a fwe patients who had pressure sores and ulcers. I was working there in the winter of 1996 when the "Clinic" building was flooded. It occured shortly after the blizzard of 1996 in early January. The 26" of snow that shut down NYC for a day evenutally melted and rand down the hill off the Palisades and flooded the basement of this building rendering it completely useless. At the time is was the main building on campus. It was the medical clinic for Dental, outside MD's that treated LVDC clients, Physical Therapy and it also housed some of the LVDC Administrators.
It was the beginning of the end for LVDC's campus. This picture brings back a lot of memories. I only worked at LVDC for 3 years (had a scholarship from NYS and chose to work with Developementally Disabled individuals....ended up at LVDC.)
I just happened to google LVDC, just to see if there was anything on the web...and got to your site. The pictures are very eerie. I spent three long years there.
