Although many of the architectural gems from Binghamton may have inspired Rod Serling, no filming was ever done here for the Twilight Zone. Our webmaster, Steve Schlich, resides in California so on his first visit to Binghamton he was awed by some of our architecture and thus inspired to create the “Architecture from the Twilight Zone” photo gallery. You may or may not know but the State Hospital building which has sat empty for the last 8 years finally received funding in 2008 to start its restoration. This includes restoring its original spires. Upstate Medical will be using it as a training medical center.
I’m a big fan of The Twilight Zone as well as old asylum buildings oddly enough. I came across your great Rod Serling Memorial site and noticed the original Binghamton State Hospital building pictured in your “Architecture from the Twilight Zone” gallery. Am I right in assuming that means the hospital appeared in an episode of The Twilight Zone? Or is that just a title you used to sort of equate Binghamton with The Twilight Zone? I’d like to track down the episode with the hospital building in it—if there is one.
