A very compelling video trumpeting the loss of our cultural heritage for a few dollars profit on some millionaire's bottom line. Kudos to the videographer for the many hours it took to record the ultimate demise of this stalwart edifice.
This is so upsetting. My dad was a doctor there, and we grew up on the grounds of this beautiful hospital from the 1960's-1980's. Many happy times I have rode my bike on the road that circled this hospital, as well as the whole town that is no longer there. This place was designed by Kirkbride. It should've been saved.
Actually, I went here. Now they replace it with a soccer field? This has a lot of history involved with it. It was a Beautiful hospital and I wish it never got torn down..
Very moving and emotional, I'm teared up having had close family members voices to have been heard in these hallways... very sad it was taken from us all. A tragedy and tragic death instead of a rebirth, which would have stood as a testament to those that thrived and continued their lives because of the treatment they received and to those who suffered there and lost their lives. They were owed the rebirth, we all were and there should stand a building as a museum and tribute to the lives who walked these halls... employees, patients, wards, and all the talented staff members who gave their all to rescue as many souls as possible, dedicating theirs lives to their recovery and release. Owed to the families who cried while visiting their loved ones meandering through those long hallways when their loved ones were suffering and receiving treatments to save them. 😢 Taking this remarkable campus to the ground, does not erase its history ... please look into what will commemorate its existence 🙏 and share with us all! 💝 Thank you for exposing and sharing.
I don't know a thing about this building but I was watching a horror movie and then I started looking up about it. all this building needed was love you guys did amazing work on this thank you for this video
That was my favorite hospital. :( I was just there like 10 minutes ago. Why couldn't people just work in it again? Just because it's abandoned, doesnt mean that we can't put life into it again
One of my dad's childhood friends used to be interred at this Hospital as we visited a lot..but for me the inside felt like a lot more smaller it was like only walking around the square like a lap of some sort. It was about a 45 minute drive from where I live but the year I used to visit was around 1997 and as of less than a year ago I heard that it was too bad that the original building was razed and as far as that I know My dad's childhood friend who was patient here his current whereabouts are still unknown but I know he still has personal problems but for me along with his family and all of us as my family probably u can call it the closest friends our hearts are still praying for him as god is always guiding him.
For every nickel Id get of the criminal destruction of our heritage, id literally be a millionaire. hundreds of years worth of stuff demolished in the past millennia, Truly gross and I want my money back.
choconate 28 I’m from the town it was in. A bunch of yuppies who moved to the town wanted it torn down to increase property values. Not a single person with roots in the town wanted it torn down. My family has been here for three generations and same goes for a lot of the kids I grew up with. Morris Plains used to be a gem of a town but in the last 10-20 years it has changed a lot and not for the better. I wish the US was as adamant about protecting history as the countries in Europe. Tearing down Greystone is like tearing down the Sistine Chapel to an extent. Greystone had the 2nd to largest catacombs IN THE WORLD, second to only the catacombs of France. The building itself was a work of art. It is seriously sad that a handful of people who had no respect for the town moved in and did this.
I documented this demolition through the eyes of my camera. Sadly, one of the women who complied this video was involved with North Star (the demolition company). That's how she got access.
How tragic that these magnificent Kirkbride buildings, one after another, are being/have been trashed by the unthinking, who have no respect for their important history.
A friend of mine said while he had a very creative and funny friend in Bergen Pine in the 1980's was sent by her parents to Greystone and within the year she had committed suicide 💔 They didn't even tell her friends, just an 'oh well. Happy to know this building is gone
I always got the creepiest feeling on that campus but I always fantasized about buything that building and making inot a homeless shelter or something. Never went inside but I moved near Marlboro SSH and went into some of those building and the echos were silent and loud if that makes any sense.

This is actually truly upsetting...
It's amazing that someone is that skilled to build a building with an excavator that quickly
Preserve history, don't destroy it!

It truly disgusts me that they destroyed this. Truly. We will never get this back and it was amazing.
Demolished and all just for someone to profit from.
Governor of the state which I won't mention had a big part in this demolition.
i know right? would have been cool to visit! it was in House!
What a majestic building - what a massive shame it did not get saved. Great film.
Who were the voices speaking so eloquently about saving the building? Why were they ignored?
They Love to destroy -
Mind Unveiled - on YT
Was it to much to ask to save at least the main center building?
my thought exectly lol
Thank you so much, tear-jerker
Erasing history
This is a fabulous film. So very emotional...so sad

too much mold and abestos,
This wonderfully captured and edited video sadened me. Why did Chris Christie allow this to occur. Bad call Sir!
It was the largest poured concrete structure up until the Pentagon was built. Glad I got my pictures inside when I had the chance...
That song playing gives me chills
Yes it's a beautiful building . But what when on inside those walls we will never know . The patient's care was horrendous
Such a beautiful building..
Now we have open space for the souls to breathe freely...

en nuestro pais admiramos y apreciamos la historia y sus legados, que pena que hayan demolido esta joya arquitectonica.

Why!!

Heartbreaking
My cross country meet was here today

Truly a disgrace!
Whoever had their hand in this should be ashamed of themselves!

Place was haunted as SHEEEIT.
If u build anything on this property u will be haunted and if u don't think so be my guest
Nice to see these place destroyed . House of horrors. People be mistreated, killed, experiment on
The secrets they didn't want to br found 🤔
Damn shame...multi use facilities
Those homeless GHOSTS
I always got the creepiest feeling on that campus but I always fantasized about buything that building and making inot a homeless shelter or something. Never went inside but I moved near Marlboro SSH and went into some of those building and the echos were silent and loud if that makes any sense.
The person who shot this slept with a member of Northstar(the demolition crew). She isn't creditable.
Dried tomato?
