The Hudson River State Hospital, originally opened in 1871 as the Hudson River State Hospital for the Insane, and ultimately known as the Hudson River Psychiatric Center, would remain in operation for a total of 141 years. And at its peak in 1955, it was "serving" 6,000 "patients." All of these videos seem to have their strongest, most drawing features, and perhaps with the Hudson River facility, this is the portion of the video pertaining to its final closure and ultimate redevelopment. So many people wonder at and become frustrated with how these old facilities have failed to be maintained and allowed to crumble into eventual nonexistence. But quite often, such efforts have actually been attempted only to meet with delay and ultimate failure for reasons that people perhaps fail to recognize. I feel that this particular video does an above-average job of addressing this sadly unrealized facet of so many of these old facilities' more modern histories, too.
