Kings Park Psychiatric Center: Digging a Little Deeper

author: Sean Hopkins : Long Island, NY

This post is meant to be an addendum to my previous post, here citynoise.org/article/8894 I drove up there today, spent about two hours walking the grounds, dodged two squad cars and had just about the most gratifying photo hunt yet. It's a beautiful place, aside from the spooky factor; but I kinda like that :) Can't imagine what it's like at night!! Hope you enjoy!

On September 14th 2008 I brought my 1978 Olympus 35mm camera to KPPC, which is now abandoned, and took these photos. We managed our way into some of the old boarded up houses on the site, and got as close as we could to the Psych Center and snapped a few shots before the authorities caught wind of us and politely asked us to back away. Anyways, it's a modest tribute to a historical place. This particular hospital was in operation from 1885 until 1996. for more info link to this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_Park_Psychiatric_Center
