Collapse

scrumptious

sad but true most will go the way the old Mountain Sanitarium in NJ went demolished.....if any of these places are in a local area to any of you check into getting them listed as historical markers...that will prevent them from slipping into the past ...these hospitals have a wonderufl history and most of it affected the locale

or cubbie holes for clean linen for each room? or maybe the personal effects of the staff?

Blurred Lines

scrumptious

so that they would let the natural light in without having to risk the breaking of large panes of glass or having to compromise the look with the use of wire or bars on windows......keep in mind violent women patients......the opaqueness was not so much to keep them from seeing out but from others seeing in

Colors

Actually the pastel colors used in most hospitals were used for the calming effect it has on the psyche

KUDOS ! to you Mr. Motts for keeping the watchful camera eye on some of what I consider to be the most beautiful architectural buildings in our land....saddly most of them are falling into ruin quickly.......how do we contribute to the funding to keep these masterpieces from slipping inot the past?
