1. Greystone Psychiatric Hospital
A Review of 2014
Another year has come and gone - it seems like it was just last week when 2013 was coming to a close! Over the course of the past year, we have explored a number of sites throughout New Jersey and beyond. In July, I went to Virginia, visiting sites such as Jamestown, Yorktown, Colonial Williamsburg, and Washington's Mount Vernon. In August, a family trip took me to the Catskills of upstate New York and in October I went as far south as North Carolina, stopping at Petersburg National Battlefield and Richmond along the way. With that in mind, here is a recap of six of the most popular articles of 2013. Throughout 2014, remember that our historic sites are in need of visitors all year round. Therefore, I encourage you to go out and support your local historical society's events and open houses.

Greystone Psychiatric Hospital in Parsippany, New Jersey has been constantly battered by the elements, time, and neglect for quite a few years now. Despite valid proposals to save and readapt this behemoth building for modern uses, it will unfortunately soon face the wrecking ball, like most of the surrounding structures associated with it already have. The pleas for help have gone unanswered and this building's very last patient, itself, will face a sad ending unless a last-minute injunction or moratorium comes into play. Will the fall of Greystone become our New York's Pennsylvania Station?
