The courtyards were used long ago and referred to bull pens I believe. Especially in the male wards they would have the patients walk in a circle around the courtyard. They believed if they were kept moving there wouldn't be any so called "episodes" ::cough::

Maybe it was the rear entrance to Adm and Doctors' Offices and Apartments. Delivery to Kitchen, Ward Laundry Pickups, etc.

I played a intense game of frisbee with a mad man named Mercury in this courtyard. Those are all wards that usually surrounded the courtyards.

On this side of the building are several spots where there is a fenced-in space (almost like a crawl-space but with room to stand) with stalactite-like mineral deposits hanging from the ceiling. Some were several inches long, looking like little icicles.
