End Of The Line (and it was for many)
Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center, closed 1994. The facility operated from 1924-1994. In it's heyday, up to 5500 resident patients were housed here in the dozens of buildings. The entire campus spreads over 700+ acres in the peaceful little rural town of Wingdale, NY. Originally constructed to be used as a prison, but that plan was met with much disdain by the local residents who fought the plan whereas it was subsequently converted for use as a state psychiatric hospital.
We were told that a Korean organization has now purchased the entire operation with a plan to restore the buildings and convert all for use of an Evangelist Christian university. (not confirmed) Apparently, OSHA has a permanent party resident there, and there has been fines levied against the owners because of workers found working in asbestos, lead paint, and overall toxic environments.
All interior shots were done through windows, many of which were broken. Obviously, entry into any of the buildings was not available, nor was it an option.
