I am not sure how old it is but it was big and for all types of mental problems. Lynne Creedmoor Stae hospital first opened in 1912 as The Farm Colony of Brooklyn State Hospital.It continued to grow through the years. The number of patients peaked the began to decline as more and more medications became available to treat many of the patients on an outpatient basis.I played baseball in a vacnt lot on the south side of Hillside Ave opposite the hospital in the late 1940's and early 1950's Ken Oakley **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
