Building 22

Seems sich ashame to just let buildings like this rott away..........

I agree...

US TO!!

as long as we keep building tasteless new buildings there will always be waste. look out in fifty years for what is going up around the block from you. It will also be abandoned!!!

My apologies for my two comments regarding methods of entering the property, I did not read the disclaimer and am sorry for this violation.

I think the bigest problem is that they were built when asbestos was popular... not to mention lead paint.

It's not worth the time and money to clean them up...

course someone has to eventually...

This looks like an old photo like the ones you used out of that book for the before and after shots!

does any one know how many buildings are standing now? And are there any hidding that you cant see from the main road

Me and my partner ripped about 1500 pounds of flashing off the roofs of 21 and 22. Like takin' candy from a baby! and copper goes for about $2.00 a pound nowadays, depending on the grade.

Scrapper, you must be very proud of yourself.

yeah, thanks to your stealing, everything is destroyed now

all the vandalization is sickening. why the fuck would you feel the urge to destroy this place? what satisfaction do you get from that? Do you think anyone is impressed by your oh-so-clever and "artistic" tags? bunch of losers. get a life.

Beware thrill seekers and tresspassers of these wards, there is such a thing called fate. Patient's were tortured in this building from 1984 to its close by the therapy aid's who should have been patient's themslves and some were, as in the case of [name removed], who was a patient and then became a T.A. but soon quit because she didn't have the stomach to treat patient's the way the other staff members did. And then there was [name removed] who was a patient ,local cab driver for patients then became a T.A. and finally fired for putting his hands down a patients pants in the outside recreation yard.These T.A.s were sworn to protect patient's but instead were on a power trip in tyranny. The therapy aids stoled food, personal item's and cigaretts on a daily basis from patients as soon as the visitors left that brought them for a friend or relative and had to be stored in a staff locked metal cabinet behind a locked steel door . Go figure how things vanished? They also added foreign liquids ( murine, visine and other substances....) to a patients liquid medication if they deemed you a trouble maker. The night shift in building 22 were the worst of the worst. They would do one of two things, drink alchohol or sleep all night. For most of them this was their second job and they did nothing at all at K.P.P.C. but show up. They did not want to be bothered at all and made no bones about it. If a patient had a problem even a serious one like a reaction to medication, they were told " wait for the morning shift ". Some T.A.s who were in building [name removed] during this period are [name removed] and her son, [name removed], [name removed] and [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed] who looked like barney rubble, [name removed], [name removed] with his elvis sideburns, [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], greasy looking [name removed], [name removed] with a speech impetiment, [name removed], [name removed] the 50's leftover and so on. If anyone remembers the night shift T.A who walked around with a baseball bat and hit your bed with it if he thought you didnt get up quick please post his name. [Identifying information removed] Some of these T.A.'s have had an untimely demise as for the surviving T.A.'s if any one has information please post it.

[ADMIN. NOTE: Actually, please don't post it to save us the trouble of removing it.]

Not to downplay your accusations, but I would hardly care if someone added Visine or Murine to my food, 'specially if it wasn't well-seasoned. Over-the-counter saline eyedrops aren't usually classified as psychotropic agents unless there has been a revolution in the field someone forgot to clue me in to.

Dintcha know Lynne that when you add Murine or Visine to Vicks Formula 44D it mimcs LSD. Oh, by the way, NEVER mix Chloraseptic with cherry cough drops either. It turns into arsenic.

There is no danger to using chloraseptic and cherry cough drops - the losenges contain the same chemicals that chloroseptic does - Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide.

Motts, have you ever set off an alarm in this place?

BOLO FOR EVIL DOERS. FORWARD ALL SIGHTINGS TO YOUR DISTRICT CONTACT. WE WILL BE CONDUCTING AN EMERGENCY SWEEP ON 2/14/2008 IN SECTOR 22 ZONE 4 SUB STATION 223. THIS IS A MANDATORY MEETING.

motts was eneybody living in these abandond buildings???????

Hmm. Credibility much?

hey haunted soul if you can make it to cafe 56 i think you would be intrested in shared information among Alumni. if you qulify as alumni and are voted in and are regognized and vouched for by Alumni you will have our book of knowledge to look at about K.P.P.C.

I want to thank douglass and my Alumni sponsor for all the help and information they have provided me on past and present evildoers that were and are employed by the state. Some are now currently at Pilgrim. That being said, our courageous leader decrees that our next meeting will be on 7/19/2008 at SE 52- 495. This is a mandatory meeting.

I Have some thing to say haunted soul I am a TA @ppc who worked in bldg 22 1988 to 1997 a a lot what you said about the therapy aides is WRONG you have good and bad in all walks of life P.S I donot drink amd I do not do drugs and also if people were being tourtured like you say the justice dept or known as the FBI would shut us down we worked with 3 tas on the evening shift on 1 RN for a census of 40 to 45 pts young psychotic people male and female and also drug induced from illegal drugs and unfortuanately you had to use restraints on these poor souls ,what would do if a patient started injurying other patients and staff you would not let him or her continuing doing it that would be patient abuse and you will would be facing charges immediately by the the administation and another question were you ever a TA ? or a patient here :? the staff were very caring @ kppc and no ne had sex with with the pts and if they did they were dealt with severley and terminated and charges would be pressed by the STATE and as far as stealing goes I never took anything from my patients and I still see some of them today and what you stated is WRONG AND A LIE

Motts you run a very good site I am still working @ kppc on the grounds as a TA and people need to know to please STAY OUT OF THESE ABANDONED BUILDING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE KILLED OR THE VERY LEAST ARRESTED BY THE NYS PARKS POLICE these a on the verge of collapsing

I would like to get in touch with any patients or TA's from building 22, I was a patient there in the late 90's.

I am very interested in talking to anyone with regards to TAs in building 22 around 1982. I was having a relationship with a woman who worked nights there and I used to visit her during her meal breaks around 11 o'clock at night.(At least that's what she told me.) The relationship lasted 16 years and it was absolutely devastating to me. It dawned on me years later that she may have been a patient before she was a TA. I have confirmed her employment but she may have "retired" under allegations of molesting a patient.

Is this the building closest to Lawrence Ave? I used to go to the elementary school that was on the border of the grounds of that building. San Remo elementary, which was on Lawrence Ave.. This was back in the late 70's and early 80's. I also attended Wm. T. Rogers Jr. High which was also on the grounds of the hospital. Occasionally some of the patients would enter the elementary school grounds and there would be a big to do about bringing them back to the hospital. I remember the teachers at the elementary school trying to explain mental illness to us every time one of the patients came on the grounds.
Later in Jr. High School, I would ride my bicycle through the grounds to get home. The grounds were beautiful. And I hardly remember any patients walking the grounds. With all the old buildings it felt more like a college than a psychiatric facility. When I heard the hospital was closing I always thought the buildings and grounds would make a great university. That is until I heard about the asbestos. My family still lives in KP near what is left of the hospital. I know that most of the town wants something done with the land, but there is so much debate about it, it'll be another 20 years before anything is done.
