it has a reflected off water quality to it.

This was also during the time that Eugenics had become very popular. Many institutions were being created to improve society and some weren't so nice. The Fernauld school outside Boston is one where they used the boys mostly just delinquents whom had been "diagnosed" using Eugenics as morons etc. They had a farm and shoe factory that they forced the boys to work in and made money off them from it. There is a book "The State Boys Rebellion" Michael D'Antonio Someone who recognized my story as familiar recommended it. In it they describe the abuse these boys endured and some of it is exactly the same as what I endured down to the exact same phrasing of abuse and the description of the tortures they would inflict and terrorize them with to include ECT.
I imagine if I could ever get past the triggering of my PTSD as I tell my story it would look a lot like that book. There were many such institutions across the nation where working was used as excuse to institutionalize people to supply labor.

I bet that felt really cool and modern when it was first in use.

Somehow this evoked a thought of 1920's Chicago. I imagined a bunch of regular working folk using this as a speakeasy.

Grey Gardens popped into my head as soon as it came into view.
