My mother went to Buffalo state college, which is located just behind the asylum…in the late 1960s…. She said patients would escape the asylum frequently.. and they would be seen wondering around campus in their night gown type outfits… said it kinda creeped her out. Lol 😂

[@slanyx3958]

I grew up in buffalo, I’ve heard some story’s of the patients also impersonating students so they don’t have to go back 😂 crazy stuff

We broke in... I mean, we Toured this in the 90's. All the hospital stuff was still in there. Even the lobotomy table with ice pick. All the gurneys had restraints. I'm glad they did something with it. Most of our buildings are just crumbling

Within the last four years locally we lost the Allentown State Hospital. ALL the structures were raized. Truly an irreplaceable complex. I'm glad to see New York State and the city of Buffalo chose another path.

[@johnlazzarophoto]

I agree! I never got to see Allentown personally but everything I’ve read to the pictures I’ve seen of it, it was a devastating loss.

Nice, lived across the street on Rees Street in my childhood, when it was still operating....many a night could hear screams coming from this place ! You make a comment "look at this old lighting fixture"....imagine back when, there was no electricity, for about the first 30 years these buildings operated.

[@johnlazzarophoto]

Very cool! Thank you for sharing!

[@Monkey-fc9nc]

Woah 😳 I never even thought about when there was no electricity for the first 30 years. That would’ve been very scary as a patient.

[@Eric-lq9zn]

amazing place.

[@johnlazzarophoto]

Easily one of my favorites!

[@traveler582]

Cool video; I was trying to find some old footage of when it was in operation...with furniture etc. Nothing.

[@lcexplores6222]

Nice video man! This place is magnificent for sure.

[@baggywhiskers]

Outlast was filmed there.

[@scottellsworth2762]

The hospital scenes in "The Natural" were also filmed inside.

[@Monkey-fc9nc]

@@scottellsworth2762 never heard of it

[@Monkey-fc9nc]

I live 30 minutes away from Buffalo State Hospital. I actually just drove by it and behind it a few days ago.

[@meleepinata]

Still can't believe i got to visit this incredible place.

[@johnlazzarophoto]

Easily one of the most beautiful and majestic hospitals I’ve gotten to photograph.

[@banana_junior_9000]

This one should be required study for first-year architecture students. Stunning.

[@jessJBIRD1981]

I visited my sister there in 2007. I was pregnant. I saw this building and it has sat with me. Thank you 😊.

[@joeblowe7545]

What's the relevance of you being pregnant when visited?

[@jessJBIRD1981]

@@joeblowe7545 It was a very happy time in my life. I was thankful for the reminder memory. Not that you're at all deserving of an explanation.

[@TheSofres]

Cool to see this section. I was there back in May walking around in the main section of the hotel. Glad to see they’re restoring it. Some sections definitely had the hairs on my arms raising. lol

[@peach7210]

A truly beautiful piece of architecture.

[@nonameparanormalgroup]

Well done !

[@NickC1966]

A few scenes of the Robert Redford baseball movie The Natural were filmed there.

[@johnlazzarophoto]

I need to rewatch it now!

[@ARDAYEEAAHH]
