MottsI have no idea what the state of the park is these days, but 8 years ago it was not publicly accessible.

MottsMost of the windows panes were framed in metal; I suppose they were locked up most of the time or it wasn't an issue. There were bars selectively places on some windows as well.

MottsThey are sinks (a bit smashed out); I think the door leads to one of the tub rooms.

MottsHi Kathy, no I did not keep any diaries found here. Official patient records would probably be accessed through the New York State Office of Mental Health depending on your particular circumstances: http://www.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/faq/#c

MottsHey cool - yeah I hadn't noticed the pulley system inside. That might explain why the central shaft in the historic photo appears to be at a different height.

MottsI've closed up ways in if possible by shutting windows and doors, sure. I've never boarded anything up or placed my own locks on things, though.

MottsThey could have been salvaged by the hospital for scrap or for re-use in another old building (surplus). These cages could probably be removed easily with the correct tools.

MottsNice catch! Seems like someone was just spending some time in an abandoned hospital, making a collage... perhaps a movie prop.

MottsI saw some photos of the buildings being torn down in 2011. I'm not sure what is left. Since they were a tightly connected complex I'd assume they leveled everything.

I've only been back to the Pines once briefly a few years ago, but had to get out of there fast, so no photos. I miss it.
