My Grandmother was the chief of medicine and surgery here for something like 30 years. My Dad used to take my Brother and myself to visit her at work sometimes - and we had to walk down a hallway like this... unsettling to a pre-teen, suffice to say...
This is my grandmothers old house - she was the chief of medicine and surgery at PSH for something like 30 years. I spent a lot of time in this house from the late 70's to mid 80's. My Dad lived in the house during the summers during the 80's. They were nice, but "mansion" is not the word I would use to describe it. I never liked it in there.
I just went there 2 days ago (11/19/2009), and managed to get into the basement - my Dad pried off the board covering the outdoor basement stairs the last time he was there (he grew up in the house). It's in bad shape. I don't reccomend going in there - asbestos and crumbling buildings don't mix.
