Just surfed into the site...My father was a doctor at the Philadelphia State Hospital, that's what we called it, and he used to take us to the dentist there when I was a child. Believe it or not! Actually the dentist was a very nice guy and used to make little plaster turtles from a mold to give out. He also used to give me mercury amalgum to play with, which turns out wasn't such a great idea. The dental set up in the photo looks very stangely familiar...although I assume the office I went to was in the old, C-14 building. I live in CA now and it is VERY strange to me that there are people who risk their life and limb exploring these old buildings. I don't mean to be harsh, but I think your time would be better spent visiting the elderly in nursing homes or volunteering to help people in need.
