charlene, how could you see building 22 from 56, the only tall buildings on the property are 93 and 7, i was a patient there and i was in many building both being 93 and 7and you cant even see the outline of 93 from exit 56,

Someone earlier mentioned a bar across from the power plant named "The Round Table". I used to live about 3 miles from there and hung out there often. It was, I must say the craziest, most insane and dangerous bar I've ever been in. Some of the things I saw there I cannot even describe. There was even an old straight jacket from the hospital hanging on the wall. In the '40s and '50s it was a place for employees and visitors to eat and drink, but by the time I found it in the late '80s it had become dilapidated and almost swallowed into the surrounding brush. At that point it was "home" to the lowest rung of King's Park drug community. They closed it for a few years in the mid '90s and re-did the grounds and building. Now it's a sports bar with numerous TVs. I'll write more later.

Its beautiful

I worked behind that counter, in 1978. It was a full service kitchen "serving soup to nuts" as we used to say. It was the best run industrial kit. in N.Y. And the clients very seldom went unhappy...oh for the days when people took care of each other, and pride in their work.

so that's where i left my peanut butter & jelly sandwich!

Ah Yes, Lead poisoning at it's best!

I wonder if they left anything behind here????

I visited someone here in the 70's, it was something till this day i can't forget.

They ALL float down here!

my aunt and mother use to work there i was just out there for the first time alot of places were blocked off like where my mom worked

Art or no art it's a cool pic & a grate web site..

I highly doubt someone put it in there while it was alive. Also whitch droor is it in? If it is in the bottom then it probaly went there on its own, and if the top then someone probaly put it there.

Amazing view, waaaaay to high for me! I've heard stories of toilets and sinks taking the dive from up here. LOL you can't stop good 'ole American fun.

That sounds like a photo I'd like to take, but I don't have a boat... oh well. I first fell upon this place a few years ago while taking a random drive. I couldn't stop thinking about getting into 93. I think I could get over the creepyness with enough friends and alcohol, but the thought of a tresspassing summons stops me. This building's history really makes it a haunting sight. I kept thinking I was going to see a little pale girl in a white dress standing in a window =). I love the photo's, Motts. I took a few of my own here, but I really need to get back and take more. There's no shortage of great scenes here.

I first saw KPPC while traveling on the LIE around exit 56. I saw the outline of i93 as well as 22 I believe. Finally one day I decided to take a ride and headed north from exit 56. Since then, this building has captured my attention even though I have moved away. A friend of mine told he saw the building from a boat out in the sound, but didn't have a camera with him. Would anyone happen to have a picture of 93 taken from the water?
