Wow! Can someone give me a thumbs up if people are building homes on the vacant property? If so, that is creepy!! There should be a disclosure to the buyers. Hauntings Beware!

-1 star for the food, but +4 for a top rate lobotomy 👌

Questions & Answers

If it’s been abandoned for years why does it have visiting hours?

Amy Herrera | Oct 7, 2018
Lisa Blohm | Oct 7, 2018

Because they built a new one up the street in 2006. That’s what you are calling.

Has anyone tried phoning the number

I've dialed it, it is still a valid number and everything and it still has the automated phone menu and it says at the start "welcome to essex county hospital center and research institute"

In the 1920s to 1930s were alcoholics brought here to "dry out"? Are medical records available to family members from that time period? Thank you.

Liz M | Oct 7, 2019
Roger Peterson | Oct 7, 2019

Yes there where alcoholic's as patients back then. I don't believe there are records of them. Allot of records were just abandoned. Destroyed by curious kids who roamed the vacant buildings for years prior to denitio of all buildings starting in 2014 through 2018.

Kelly Agosto | Oct 7, 2018

I didn't see one. It looks like it's been turned into apartments. They replaced alot of the windows. Only part has been knocked down and there are cameras set up around it. I wouldn't live there.
