This information cannot be accurate. My daughter had neurosurgery at Newington Children's hospital in 1993. Your information states the hospital moved to Hartford in 1986. Perhaps you mean 1996? And what of the hospital building that was in use in 1993?

My mother was a patient there in the mid 1960's to the 1980's , was a truly horrible depressing place where there seemed to be no fresh air, thats what I recall most aside from all the locked doors, just that feeling of stale air and being confined . youd come out of there and take a big breath. my mother just got worse and worse there. I cant see how anyone could have gotten better in such a dark depressing place. your photo's are terrific.

Maybe the Steps once went out to a fire escape. Why it would be in the bathroom not to sure but thats probably the only thing i could think of to why they would be by a window. As for the pink boys room maybe someone moved the sign or back in those days they thought boys liked pink hah.

It is a day room. It separates patients and allows minimal staff due to the half walls.
