Showers

The hoses that were used to wash the patients down were still intact in this shower room.

Standard institutional shower hoses from way back when. We still have some like this and use 'em, and they actually work a lot better than the new stuff - better water pressure and all.

babydol, the only reason you would be "marched in there and hosed down" is if you hadn't showered for weeks on end, or were an absolute mess with things unnecessary to name, and were still refusing to shower.

Was the water cut off to all these old buildings or does any of it still have water in it?

Yes the water was shut off - in an unheated building in New England, the pipes would probably freeze and burst the first winter if they weren't.
