weren't all the tables used for people stainless steel? easier to clean? awesome lighting tho.

its illegal and always has been to leave papers regarding patients. none of those paper dicusss patients, the good documents are probably the only things removed from this place.

in responce to kevin, that so sad... many people were forced to leave by the NAACP, they liked it there they didn't know any other place and were incapable of taking care of themselves.

i like this one, ths picture is off balence and its far away.. which is symbolic for the fact that its abandonded

again i must re comment on the fact that, NAACP closed it down because of one women being held there against her will because she said she liked being homeless .. soo the NAACP decided they should all have a choice, even though they shouldn't be trusted making decisions due to the fact that they are mentally ill. but regardless the NAACP closed them down saying they were unconsitutional to hold people or lock people up. nobody was tortured there ever.... if you were cold when you visited it, you probably should have worn a jacket.

um.. i am very upset about the dumb rumors about this place.. nobody was tortured in the basement and anywhere else... the NAACP closed the asylum down because it claimed it was unconsitional, and if the crazies wanted to be homeless they had that choice.

being a new yorker, I hate to disappoint but the public library isnt quite this breathtaking..but the city itself is gorgeous. definately plan a trip sometime...you won't regret it, sallie

Does anyone get a creepy feeling that some of the clothes still take on the shapes of the pacients that used to fill them?

Can you still get into the buildings? I haven't been there in over a year and someone told me you couldn't get on the property at all!! Is this true? Has anyone been there recently and what is left inside the buildings? Thanks
