Harlem Valley: Modern Ruin

HVPC

On my road trip up to Westchester Modular Homes for a factory tour yesterday (more on that another day), I passed through the village of Wingdale, home of Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center. Shut down in 1994, nature has quickly reclaimed much of the site.

If you are a long time reader of the Living Well blog, you are familiar with my facination with modern ruins. An abandoned pychiatric hospital? It doesn’t get better than that.

Anyone interested in a midnight tour?

    I left the comment below on the wrong thread, whoops, sorry.

    I passed this place on my way up to Millerton! This place is awesome. I did some research on it, and it was it’s own little compound back in the day. I read that somebody bought it up, but obviously there is yet to be any work done to the area. I hope they can fix it up, it’s like it’s own city!
