As a kid, back in the late 1940's and early 1950's we used to have a Girl Scout Highjinks at this place. There were still children living here and we could talk to them and play with some of them when we were off on our own. I remember how strange this place seemed as a child.

My brother was a resident here in the 1950's. He lived in one of the cottages and we would visit him about once a month. It was a pleasant place. He left when he was 18. He was an epileptic.

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

As I wrtie this, I am in the library of Fieldstone Secondary School. This library was a building on the Letchworth Village campus. It was rebfurbished along with many of the other buildings. As "Hi" previously said, it is very scary to know that your school used to be an inasne asylum!!

It was a hospital for people with developmental disabilities, not a psychiatric hospital.
