walkwhilereading: Craig House psychiatric hospital, Beacon, NY “this building, just up the road from us, has always fascinated me. it’s an abandoned mental institution, and it looks the part — dark, dramatic, and scary as hell. i did some research on it this morning, and learned that zelda fitzgerald, troubled wife of f. scott fitgerald, was transferred here in march, 1934 after experiencing her third nervous breakdown.”
