Arched Hall

Arched Hall

The riveted arches in the hallways connecting the male and female buildings to the medical center were very unique.

I like the black and white with the arches, simplistic and beautifully captured!

Interesting contrast of pleasing presence of arches done in iron work.

Those mettalic (( maybe iron ? )) arches give this hallway a cold and naked feeling of lost hope. Almost looks like the inside of a naval ship. I would not feel comfortable in this hallway.

The rivets are really industrial-looking. It makes me think of the hull of a ship. Interesting design motif.

I worked at Pilgrim in '56 as a secretary. I walked through these tunnels many times. Usually at the end an honor patient would sit and while walking in the middle of the tunnel he would switch off the lights. Had to use a skeleton key whenever entering or leaving a room. I typed up patient histories; back then there were no copying machines so everything had to be typed. I parked in front of the Admin Bldg and in the morning when entering the building the male patients looking out their barred windows would should all kinds of obscenities to me; I was only 19 so it really made me uncomfortable.
