Hudson River Psych 2012 – Med Building

Dental Exam Room

In 2012, I adventured on up to Hudson Psych with the two goon brothers on a mission to explore as much of the place as we could in a single day.



Kings County Building G

Lurking

On January 31st, 2015, a massive fire ripped through a warehouse on the Brooklyn waterfront that contained troves of government records.

Sea View Hospital Children’s Ward

Sea View Hospital Children’s Ward is a building I’ve been exploring for over 15 years now. That makes it a very rare breed. Offhand I’m hard pressed to think of any substantially sized abandoned buildings within NYC City Limits that have remained in a state of abandonment for so long.



Hudson River Psych 2012 – Recreation Center

The Herman B. Snow Rehabilitation Center was the most modern on the Hudson River Psych Center campus.



Retro Files: Essex County Isolation Hospital Outbuildings, 2001
