NYC Farm Colony
New York, NY

The NYC Farm Colony was built in the early 20th Century for poor and mentally ill people to live and work to support themselves. A sprawling 40-acre agricultural complex on the Farm Colony campus allowed these folks to grow their own food and be productive. The last residents of the Farm Colony were removed in 1975 and the buildings have stood to ruin and significant vandalism since.
