SynopsisThe Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital was more than a building; it embodied an entire era of uniquely American history, from the unparalleled humanitarian efforts of Dorothea Dix to the revolutionary architectural concepts of Thomas Story Kirkbride. After well over a century of service, Greystone was left abandoned in 2008. From the time it closed until its demolition in 2015, Greystone became the focal point of a passionate preservation effort that drew national attention and served to spark the public's interest in historical asylum preservation. Many of the images contained in this book were rescued from the basement of Greystone in 2002 and have never been seen by the public. They appear courtesy of the Morris Plains Museum and its staff, who spent many hours digitally archiving the photographs so that future generations may better know Greystone's history.

Beautiful photo accounting of Greystone
A nice picture book of the way mental health was viewed in 1900. Many of the non pharmacological therapeutic methods used today were used then. Hard to find pictures worth the book price. Too bad politicians blew the place up. Magnificent architectural design.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Wonderful piece of history
This is a beautiful and compelling story of one of the most well-known psychiatric hospitals way ahead of it's time. I highly recommend reading it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
