I'm dutch too and it's almost abnormal they put a little piece of Holland in the US haha! But yet awesome. Love the piano, very nostalgic.

Seriously; this is ART. wonder if it's a real story or a made up one-- but never mind, it's just beautiful.

Oh my and today it's friday..

I just love this photograph! So creepy yet cute..

Lisa, Timothy Leary was one of the psychedelic drug leaders of the 1960's. He was into LSD. He was a very controversial figure. Just Google his name. He owned a place in Millbrook in the 1960's and he died in 1996.

Beautiful, almost dreamlike photo of a bygone place from a bygone age.

there acually called wards. that is paul dever state school

on the other side of that shower was a room the the clients got undressed and dressed there was no privacy.

this was a ward of an L shaped building. there were eight beds on each side. door at end had a storage and later after laundry closed washer and dryer.

IT kinda looks like it would be a stomach pump, wich kind of creeps me out but in a good way!

Yeah us lesbians love the cages all right

Yeah in a very good way there is no other way id like to spend my free time =)

Is that actually a person standing there or is it the way the light is reflected?

Yeah this is quit the amazing picture

I worked here in the 1970's. While some of the psychiatric staff were brilliant and innovative, it was often difficult to tell the old-time line staff from the patients (by the keys! you identify who is who by the keys!). The place was indeed creepy- little happened in the "old section" even at that time, but there was a sheltered workshop housed in that ancient area. The wind blowing made the creepiest sounds, and the "tombs" were visible through little arched windows that rose above the baseboards on the first floor.
I have often thought this would be a stunning movie set, and that the Commonwealth missed the boat in not leasing it out- frequently.

My mother and I are looking at these pictures, she was a nursing student here in the '70s. She said that a lot of the plumbing was exposed in Kings Park, so she says that this was either heating or water.
