Building 1

Constructed in 1930, the Residential Care Center for Adults was a satellite facility as part of the Pilgrim Psychiatric Center. There was also a traffic tunnel connection to building 2, which sat directly to the southwest (demolished in the early 1980s).

It "...provides residential services to 130 men and women from Suffolk County. Support and supervision are provided 24 hours/day at the residence for those who find it difficult to live in a more independent setting. Services are provided on site to enhance or maintain current functional skills and individuals are seen at Pilgrim’s community centers or alternate community providers for psychiatric care."

The building was vacated in November 2012 and may soon be used as an office for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
