Bathroom

This bathroom is bigger than mine. I guess one of the downsides of city living.

I see this place every day (my apartment looks on to Roosevelt Island) but I was never able to really admire the beautiful facade this place has from that distance. Thanks so much for posting this!

It reminds me of the (formerly) abandoned chapel on the grounds of my Alma Mater.

Bedframe

That bedframe is actually in really really good condition, but I am surprised how heavy that door actually is.

Exterior

I hate to be redundant, but yeah, those big buildings around Exit 56 are not KPPC. KPPC is no where near the LIE.
I am actually writing an essay at this moment on the importance of keeping the memory of abandoned institutions alive.
It was funny, over Christmas holiday my mother-in-law was telling me about how she got lost in this strange place with these giant red and white brick buildings with boarded-up windows. She was not to happy to find out that she was on the grounds of an abandoned asylum.

Darkened Stage

I wonder why they didn't take the lights or put them up for bid back when it was abandoned. That's a several thousand dollar lighting set, and I can't believe that the NYSDMH would let such a thing go to waste.

Columns

I wonder why they decided to go NeoClassical on this building. It seems like a common theme for asylums.
