DESCRIPTION

New York is famous for a lot of things, including its institutions and asylums. Some of the first and oldest institutions in America were built in New York.

Travel back to when asylums were a city within a city to keep the mentally ill hidden away. Discover architectural marvels that were carefully designed by some of the most honorable architects of the time, like Frederick Clarke Withers and famed landscape designer, Frederick Law Olmsted.

Follow Photographer Dave Snook as he captures New York’s first asylum for the chronically insane; a modern-day psychiatric hospital closed in 2015; a famous tuberculous center’s dome that has been rumored to be in the Pan- American Exposition’s Temple of Music; and a state school influenced by a Massachusetts institution for the "feeble-minded".

Explore the decaying ruins of some of New York’s largest and most famous institutions and asylums.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S)

Dave Snook is a Massachusetts-based photographer who has been documenting abandoned asylums since the early 2000s. His love for mental health history, architecture, and preservation got him started in asylum photography at a young age. Because preservation isn’t always an option, he made it his goal to document as many asylums as possible before they are gone. He hopes to capture the history and energy of each place with his photographs and share them with you. He continues to document and fight for preservation to this day. Most of his work can be viewed is on his website: www.Insanectuary.com.
