I worked here as a college student in the early 70s. Lived in one of these buildings. On our free time, we'd explore the no-longer used portions of the facility. It was creepy, fascinating, and unbelievable to us. I worked on a children's psych ward for teens who were violent. It was a scary assignment, and it changed how I viewed the field of psychology. Still have many slightly creepy memories of this place.

Those experiences and the emotions you felt are why we are such strong advocates for architectural preservation. Those feelings are only conjured by the walls themselves, which serve as powerful conduits to our collective history. Both good and bad.

I went here when I was a kid many times, and then one year we rolled up with the family and it was just.... gone lol. We walked the grounds a bit out of curiosity then left. I have many good memories here, there was a stagecoach that would take you through the town and kids would shoot their capguns, taking down the "robber". What a shame to see the shape it's in a couple decades later

It's a sad sight for sure, and must have been a strange experience for you. If it helps any, there's a wonderful Western themed park in NJ called Wild West City that hails from the same era and is still going strong today.

@AntiquityEchoes 3 ай бұрын
Unfortunately they aren't as obsolete as we would like to believe, many in need of shelter like what Overbrook provided are now either homeless or in prison. Medical advancement also has a long way to come, with physical restraints and lobotomies having been replaced in modern times by chemical ones in the form of prescription drugs and sedatives. Still, we are hopeful for the future as mental health has become far less stigmatized over just the past decade.

I attended a rally there to save the building. It was Chris Christie who shut his eyes to any possibility to save the building. There were developers with private money that wanted to save the building and give it another purpose but they were ignored. The death of Greystone rests on Chris Christie and his cursed family.

Thought I'd be that 'years later' update as I recently visited the place. From my memories, very few trees stand around the buildings now, The house, barn and 2 (I assume by the supplies left behind) milking barns still stand. The rest is collapsed. There is very little profanity on the buildings so I assume someone cleaned it up as this video actually surprised me because of how clean it was when I visited.
