The Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens was founded in 1912 as the Farm Colony of Brooklyn State Hospital, and was deinstitutionalized between the 1960's and 1980's. At its height, it housed more than 7,000 patients; nowadays, there are only a few hundred patients (in outpatient treatment centers). And as a result, several parts of the hospital have become abandoned. Here are several bone chilling pictures from it's closure.
