Rockland Psychiatric Hospital, Revisited

Last winter, I got it into my mind to go bowling  And so, on a bright cold morning, we trekked through the winding campus of Rockland Psychiatric Hospital to Building 40.  Building 40 was used as a recreation hall for patients during the heyday of the institute and featured a projector for films, as well as an indoor basketball court and bowling alley.  While the ball return no longer functions, we bowled a few frames the old fashioned way.

  1. Did my psych rotation there back in the 60's. Thorazine was the only psychotropic used then. Very sad place.
