The facility and surrounding acres were transferred to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) in 1987, who declared the land a “State Nature and Historic Preserve.” In 1989, for public safety and health reasons, the Edgewood hospital buildings were demolished leaving open land and fields in its wake. Some remnants of the facility can still be found including an overgrown rail spur that once functioned as a means to bring coal to the power plant, several filled in underground tunnels and a multitude of paved and torn up roads once traversed by hospital employees.
