Rotunda

Rotunda

This was definitely one of the most interesting rooms in the building; I don't know what the purpose of it was, or what function the odd looking apparatus served.

It does remind me of the operating room at the Lemaire sanitarium in Belgium (before and after).

Only being two tubs with all that room and light, i would think it was some sort of resort. My first thought was Mercury Baths but i've never seen ones for a single person and wouldn't explain the apparatus in the room unless it was some sort of hoist to raise and lower people into the bath.

i think those were like tubs and the apparatus was lowered down in the water to make it spa like water

I hope an advertising company doesn't find this one. .. They are always looking for new locations for ED medicine commercials. This would be another location for the husband/wife in separate bathtubs Cialis commercials.

The bottoms were flush with the floor, and I don't know what the bottle was for.

It would make for a good Cialis commercial, absolutely. One for transient derelicts that is. Bag ladies need love too!

The thing on the right appears to have been moved from elsewhere in the hospital From what I can decipher, it looks like it was the pedestal to an operating room table. The top is missing.

Hi,
it has been an ordinary bathing room. the apparatus has been removed from the operation rooms in the same building. When i was there for the first time there were still the two bathtubs in their rack. what is left are those two racks.

Filled with water and ice cold therapy was one of the ghastly methods used on patients!
