i wonce went to pilgram inmy truck and i swearrrrrr there are ghost or haunting cuss we drove by a building with no trees round it and outa no where a branch went thre my windsheild and striaght into the seat.

I work in building 25 now, started in NOV 2007. It's pretty interesting to know there's so much history involved here.

I been very intrested in these buildings..
To all whose family members who died . I give out my sincere apologies. For they now can R.I.P, they shouldnt of been treated in the condition that they stood in their final moments of life before death.

I too, would love to visit this place in person.

what a shame to see this building in such poor condition. the state should have hired a care taker to keep the maintence up on these buildings.

this building should be preserved and renovated. It really pisses me off watching old buildings set and rot .

if anyone has any questions that I can answer, contact me at johnthinkqwk@aol.com

My father was the chief engineer at the power house from 1937 to 1941 I believe. He got tranferred to Willowbrrok state school in 1941 to run the powerhouse there. The army took it over due to the war and after the VA took it for two years and then it reverted back to the state.. I lived at willowbrook from '41 to '52 when i joined the service and left. My father tranferred from there to Hudson River State Hospital and retired from there.

I love these before and after shots you have.
It's just like taking a step back into the past.

I can't get enough.
How I'd love to be there myself.

Despite it not being very nice to look at (of course, I understand that beauty wasn't the concern when they constructed these sort of tubs), I'd love to have that tub in my house.
Although it's most likely bigger than my bathroom itself... x]
It's like a jacuzzi, haha! :)

Wouldn't want to be drinking water from there now! :P

Well i go there a lot at lunch time, it is now a large wooded field called a nature walk.

very morbid

looks like a fun place to explore.

i was just in pligram for 18 months in a program call Phoenix House of long island and let me tell i've heard stories that would make you pee in ya pants but for all in all it is a cool place to go snooping around . pligram has alot of history so if you ever in brentwood l.i. stop buy and take a look , you could almost feel the lost of life that took place here bye

people still work there.
