My Mom once told me the story of the day I was born. According to her my Grandmother wasn't too happy about my having to be delivered via c-section. Supposidly she had backed my father up against these windows (maybe these, possibly on another floor) and threatened to push him out of them if anything went wrong.

I was one of the last six babies to be born in this hospital before it closed in 1979. It is so awesome to see this picture. I can imagine my parents and grandparents standing at these windows looking in at me. I get a kick out of Missy's comment. Oddly enough one of those babies just so happens to be sitting at his laptop looking at the place where his family stood on the day he was born. :)

Heidianne, it may have been a teaching hospital where new docs and nurses learn on the job so to speak.

Hey, they forgot the hinges. :/

Going by the pipes running behind it along with the old tiles I wonder if they were trying to cover up a retrofit in the plumbing?

I wonder if they maybe used it as a dark room for developing xrays or photographs? Although, for a dark room it's oddly well lit. :P

These guys must have had some pretty big mouths going by the size of those things! :P

Looks like Edward Scissorhands had to go lol :P

Oh sure, you de-tox from your drugs then re-tox with lead from the paint chips. :P

The place was renevated in 1996 and by 2006 it's abandoned? What on earth happened?

That reminds me of one of those heart shaped bathtubs you would find in Vegas lol :P

That image would make a great wallpaper!

It almost looks like the stairwell itself was an addition. Why else would the window be placed between flights?

Creepy... I was born in June of 1979 :P

That almost looks like a screwed up religious relic or some kind. Awesome! :)
