I'm having visions of a crazed duck going around this place with a can of spray paint in his beek. :P :)

Ball Return

OrionFL79

Okay, I stand corrected, it was automated. :P But still ancient none the less lol :P :)

Bowling Alley

Wow that thing must be ancient! No automatic ball return / pinsetter. Must have been some task rolling your balls down the lane then having to go all the way back to retrieve the ball and reset the pins on your own. :P

Starline Suction Machine

OrionFL79

Probably used for all of the above. Like in the modern hospitals they have suction ports in all the rooms with little bucket attachments to hold whatever is being sucked. I'd imagine it could be used to suck internal stuff or maybe simple things like saliva, etc.

Those things are almost 100 years old! For gods sake they honestly belong in a museum, not hanging around an old building just waiting to rot. :/

Amsco Urology Table

OrionFL79

I just love how that table is in plain view of the window and other building. I'm sure the people on the top floor of the adjacent building must have loved the view so to speak. lol :P :)

Tools of the Trade

That little dip in the table looks to be in about the right spot to hold the intestines as they were being pulled out. <<BLEGH>> :P

Broken Windows

OrionFL79

My Mom once told me the story of the day I was born. According to her my Grandmother wasn't too happy about my having to be delivered via c-section. Supposidly she had backed my father up against these windows (maybe these, possibly on another floor) and threatened to push him out of them if anything went wrong.

Viewing Rooms

I was one of the last six babies to be born in this hospital before it closed in 1979. It is so awesome to see this picture. I can imagine my parents and grandparents standing at these windows looking in at me. I get a kick out of Missy's comment. Oddly enough one of those babies just so happens to be sitting at his laptop looking at the place where his family stood on the day he was born. :)

Heidianne, it may have been a teaching hospital where new docs and nurses learn on the job so to speak.

Hey, they forgot the hinges. :/

Peel

OrionFL79

Going by the pipes running behind it along with the old tiles I wonder if they were trying to cover up a retrofit in the plumbing?

The Black Ward

OrionFL79

I wonder if they maybe used it as a dark room for developing xrays or photographs? Although, for a dark room it's oddly well lit. :P
