I was at Snug Harbor last night and while I don't believe in ghosts, I am open to the possibility. All of the presenters did a good job and it was fun night out. One of the things that was of interest to me was the replica of St Paul's and the sanitarium that were on the grounds. I wanted to be sure of the placements of these buildings as well as the Rose Garden where the "Lady in White" had been seen so I checked out the NYC.gov site that shows the 1924 aerial survey of NYC. It also shows a 1954 survey as well as satellite overlays from the 90's and 2000's and I though it might be of interest for your research. The website is as follows:
gis.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/
Also of interest might the the LaGuardia and Wagner archives which show what Housing Authority properties looked like before projects were built on them. Click NYC Housing Authority on the left side, type in a neighborhood and off you go.

Have fun, be safe and good luck.
