The
Pilgrim Psychiatric Center is the last of the large hospitals
still open in Suffolk County. It received the remaining
patients from Kings Park and CI as they shut their doors.
A chunk of land was sold to a developer who tore down 17
identical buildings. The farm group has been converted to
Suffolk Community College and the taller buildings are
still in use. There are however dozens of buildings that
lie dormant. This site documents these abandoned structures
as well as the history of the center. |
