1,927 Comments for Pilgrim State Hospital

This hospital is in Suffolk Co. You can see the larger bldgs from the causway coming back from the beaches, Robert Moses and Jones Beach. As a kid I remember them and my Dad told me they were Pligram state. Didn't know anyone there however... ;-)

That's not calcium, that is blown snow...

Incredible shot, Motts. That is now my walpaper for my computer.

Such a shame. Those would be great restored.

Sweet. I could so totally live there.

You'd be surprised. There are people out there who would love to forget that we had places like this, let alone the patients who lived in them.
IF we took the time to look, learn, and appreciate what went on in these buildings, we could learn more and progess in care.
Rather than to disrespect, and allow the care to stop. The disrespect that someone shows for old buildings, only shows that they have no respect or undestanding of the past.
Grafitti aside.
What I mean, is arson, broken windows, and stealing things from buildings like this.
An arsonist, will burn bridges in life until they lead a lonely existance.
Someone who smashes, has no care for another's belongings, until one of theirs gets broken.
A theif, will never appreciate how hard it is to work for what they really want. For them it's the easy way.
Someone who fails to show respect, will never know respect.
And someone who just goes along because their friends all do it... Will have a hard time being a leader.
At least these are the observations I have made in my life.

I don't see how anyone could not have the respect for these places.

Last house on the left, that was the last movie i watched at a drive in.

Dear Andrew,
It wasent my idea to kill someone, I did it just to try it. People would like to restore old buildings to save from tearing down forests to put new trees, to save some land for the animals and wildlife to not see a wallmart everytime they turn around.
When you die, at your funeral I hope the preacher man says, "you people are obsessive over this worthless dead dude, just lay your flowers and stop crying."

Wow you people are weird. I really dont care what you say. It wasnt even my idea to smash the window panes..it was another person..i jus did it to try it. I also dont think the place should be restored, it is how it is, and what water, its on the third floor and has iron bars on it.

You people are obsessive about these places, just take your pictures and shut up, big deal.

Wow I guess I forgot to highlight this one, I just realized there's graffiti on the house. What a shame.

The damage has been done. There's no way to un-do it. I would like to see what this room looks like now after it was 'andrewized'

I think its the terra cotta shingles from the cupola roof.

being caught by security would definitely suck. but the consequences couldnt be all that bad, maybe a minor fine at most. Which brings me to my next point; i wonder if he ever been caught

Didn't someone just ask this the other day?
