History

In 1976, they were told by New York's State Health Department that "its obstetric and pediatric services might be shut down" because of under-utilization; [3] [4]

In 1979, they were on a list of 10 hospitals the state wanted to close because of "3,000 unnecessary beds." [5]

The year after the hospital closed, Holliswood Hospital, a psychiatric hospital, bought the building. [6]
