Those chairs where also had a matching pedistool table that were full with sand so the clients couldnt pick them up and hit you with them-my dad worked there!

History is only something preserved in an isolated state when it is in a book. The history of a place is something that changes and builds with time. The people who painting on these walls were adding to it's living history. They show that in the time that the building remained vacant it was not void of use. It changed in the role it played in its setting. If not in a vacant building than where on this earth is one expected to have the freedom to express themselves when we all find it so necessary to privatize everything. Also to say that work done by youth is therefore uninspired and ill informed is vary ageist. With that attitude it is no wonder so many young people need to find vacant buildings to paint in.

Yes this was really a hospital,and the grounds and buildings were amazing. Drive through these large red brick toweres with tall maples,and manicared lawn right to the LongIsland sound. I lived in the town of kings park,and this hospital was in every persons life in one way or another. Yourpictures are beautiful its just a shame its so run down now.

Its so hard to get in now, I cant find any more ways in

luv it

Nature always win. It will consume this building and eventually bring it down.

Infant one. My wife works at a daycare & the kids are divided into groups according to their age. There is infant 1, infant 2, trans (for transitional) 1 & trans 2. Toddler 1 & 2, and so on. When they reach school age, they graduate and move on.

Wow! That's what you get for using cheap paint. Amazing photography.

Beautiful red brick work. People laid those bricks one by one many years ago. Think of the work & sweat that went into it's construction.

Wow!

This building is massive. It's a shame such a structure is wasting away. I'm sure that by now the building is too far gone to refurbish it. Beautiful photography.

A beautiful old building. Love the porch & columns.
