Old Main
It is renowned for being the first public institution for mental health in New York State and one of the earliest in the United States. Rich historic and architectural beauty, it has the rare distinction of being named a NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK. With an impressive 135 years as a forward-thinking institution of patient care, spanning from 1843 until 1978, and with its incredible and imposing facade,it holds a deep public interest.
We believe that the Old MAIN would serve the State of New York, City of Utica, and the Central New York area well educationally, economically and culturally as a mental health museum and Heritage Tourism destination. Results of this survey will be shared with government officials on all levels including tourism.
We the undersigned recognize the OLD MAIN building at the MOHAWK VALLEY PSYCHIATRIC CENTER (corner of Court & York Streets in Utica, NY) as an incredible landmark and encourage the greater public access that it rightly deserves.

Fix it up. Its way better than just building another strip mall.
Too much history gets torn down around here. Lets keep Old Main.
My grandfather worked there for years. That building is a part of Utica and needs to be kept standing.
PLEASE SAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL LANDMARK!!!! It would be a total shame to let it rot away.
So much wasted potential. A museum would be great for the city and bring people in.

We have saved so little in this country. Please think of our ancestors or they will have nothing left!
