Pilgrim Asylum Farm
The grounds and buildings of the Suffolk Comunity College Brentwood campus werent always used for higher education. Pilgrim, like Central Islip Psych and Kings Park Psych was also a farm colony. There are many remnants of Pilgrims farm colony left today because of Suffolk Community College taking over the property and reusing the buildings. Many of the buildings still show signs of there former use.
This is a doorway to a campus building at SCC's Brentwood campus. It wasn't always though. It used to be a building for the Pilgrim farm colony, where patients would grow food for the psychiatric center. Notice that the stone work reveals cattle. This is no doubt a leftover from the farm colony
The campus is also reusing the farm groups staff cottages.
The sewer caps still say PSH on them which stands for Pilgrim State Hospital.
The college is even using the old steam tunnels for heating and network cables. Interestingly enough, when this was Pilgrim these tunnels never connected to the ones on the main part of pilgrim. They instead had there own boiler for heat destrobution. To the left we see a bricked up entrance to one of the small cottages.
