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 unnecesary beds."[5]
The year after the hospital closed, Holliswood Hospital, a psychiatric hospital, bought the building.[6]
