Alot of "asylumesque" features. It has architectural styling that is very similar to the asylums of the area, but also has some very oldworld feel to it. lots of brick and mason work, aswell as big porches.

asbestos
rust
unsafe flooring
The buildings are either concrete floors, or have already collapsed. It's easy to tell what is safe, and what isnt, as the wooden buildings are basically just shells. The stairs however are another story. Tread lightly, as I've heard that they are the same stairs that were at Byberry, so lets not find out the hard way.

Although its on the same vandalism scale as Byberry and Edgewood, it is a very unique expirience. There are many gems hidden throughout, like old diet plan cards for patients and old labels on the wall. This place is worth a day trip, but won't take the whole day if you are not a photographer. Be sure to have a flashlight, as atleast one building has the first and second floor windows bricked up.

The New York City Farm Colony – Seaview Hospital Historic District, the first historic district in Staten Island, was designated in 1985. The district consists of the buildings and grounds of two municipal institutions sited on approximately 320 acres at the center of Staten Island. The two institutions lie across Brielle Avenue from one another. For two short periods in their history they fell under the same administration, but they were founded separately – The Seaview Hospital as a tuberculosis hospital, the Farm Colony as a poor farm.
"In 1902 a predecessor charitable institution, the Richmond County Poor Farm, was renamed The New York City Farm Colony. Its purpose and assets were described as follows: " …as to the New York City Farm Colony…much can be said of its importance to the City. While the inmates at other institutions under the Department of Public Charities look around and have nothing whatever to do, here they pay for their board twofold by their labor, working on the farm raising vegetables, not only for themselves, but for other unfortunates. No healthier spot within miles of Greater New York can be found, situated on the western slope of Todt Hill, the highest land in Greater New York – it being 368 feet above sea level – a beautiful site with its fertile fields, where any kind of vegetable thrives. All it needs is cultivation…""
