I grew up in Queens, right by Creedmoor pyschiatric hosp. there are a lot of similarities between some of the buildings. it is still used and looking at some of the buildings from the street , they have a very eerie look to them. I am enchanted w/ KPPC and I have no clue why. It is beautiful in such a sad way.

You do realize that this place is full of Asbestos? I hope you wear full respirators when in there. The air is worse than Ground Zero.

No, those spaces are way too small to hold a single bed... KPPC had a tuberculosis treatment building near the quad but was torn down a while ago, if I remember correctly.

love 60's tv's

my buddy's always telling me how beautiful building 93 is. for the most part I had to disagree (then again I've never actually been there) but seeing this picture, now I can see. supurb shot, Motts.

lol I didn't see that, but I did see what looks like a guy standing in that little glass panel on the door, but its just the broken glass

ahhhhh I hate seeing so much chipping paint! anyone ever get one of those paint chips under your fingernail? it hurts!

ah, I think I've found another favorite...

corrrect me if I'm wrong, but weren't those caged-in porches for TB patients? or am I thinking of someplace else? I think it might've been someplace else...

its such a shame... anyone know if they took the plaque with them when the place was abandoned, or did someone loot it? damn shame if someone took it...

Motts doesnt need a gas mask, its a CO2 extinguisher

Got it. :-)

aye, but no! no I am not trying to degrade people like you, Lynne... and I'm not trying to degrade anyone here, just so you know. I'm not saying all patients were abused. and I'm not saying all wards were horrible, abusive places where it was living hell. all I'm trying to say i guess, is that everyone has their own opinion. some can hate these "abusive" wards. some can pity the patients, some can pity the staff. all I tried to state in that last comment that maybe, who knows, maybe there was a patient in this room who felt lonely when they were in a ward. I know that I was...

so, sorry if I offended anyone. it wasnt intentional. staff (the good staff anyway) I praise the work you do, the sacrifices you make and the dangers you face everyday trying to get patients help. patients, I know how it feels, because I too was in a ward for some time. and I'm not ashamed. I know not all patients were "freaks" and "insane" and I know that not all staff was corrupt and abusive and inhumane. no matter what the case, I hope that above comment can be viewed as only a mere suggestion/poetic art for the picture, and not entirely what went on in Kings Partk or any other ward as a whole.

i remember when the first tv came into my hometown. we owned it and we had a slew of people over everynight. these thngs weighed a ton.

clean it up and I would live here.
