Window to the World

FDNYMedic

A very interesting contrast of imaginations. don't think that thoughts like that didn't run through the inmates' heads. also, remember that some prisons these days with cells that small don't even have windows. now THAT's hell

Intact

Just sit back and visualize what it looked like in it's heyday...inmates clustered in the cells on one side...guards on the other side...it's chiiling when you think about it.

Lot

As beautiful as it was, it's very saddening that such a delicate work of architecture was torn (or imploded) to pieces

Fire Escape

FDNYMedic

To my knowledge, fire escapes like that weren't really required until after the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in 1911.

They may have had a different one on the opposite side, which may have been removed when the new one was put in.

One of the prettiest galleries I've ever seen. They have hotels like this still in use in Manhattan, though they're mostly for the homeless.
