Harlem Valley State Hospital

Harlem Valley State Hospital

Harlem Valley State Hospital, south of the hamlet of Wingdale in the Town of Dover, was a New York State psychiatric hospital that operated from 1924-1994. [ [http://harlemvalley.org/harlem/ Harlem Valley.Org] ] [ [http://robbieknobbie.tripod.com/harlem/harlem.html The Harlem Valley Psychiatric Hospital Page] ]

The grounds were originally slated to be a correctional facility, Wingdale Prison, but complaints by the local population caused a re-purposing of the buildings (under construction) into a state hospital. It is located on NY 22 opposite the Harlem Valley-Wingdale station on the Metro-North Harlem Line.
