I worked at NSH from 1980 to 1996. This bldg, Salmon Bldg., was closed in 1972. It had been used as the maximum security ward for the criminally insane. That job was transferred to the Whiting Forensic Institute in Middletown at that time. Many of the employees who worked in the Salmon Bldg transferred and opened up Whiting.

These pics are great but the bad part is they are publicity that these places dont need. The pics are posted, some douchbags with nothing better to do find out where they are and go bust the place up. It would be best to post the pics and leave the names and locations out. I cant believe this place hasnt been trashed or burned to the ground yet, dont worry I'm sure it will soon once enough of the wrong people find it.

I was looking at the vents on the walls when coming up with a title :)

Thank you though, always interesting to hear about the place when it was operational!

Great photography! I would imagine that this place is also very haunted and all I can say is; Utopia beware! It is best sometimes to leave the past to roam alone.

This picture makes me think of the military for some reason.
