There were plenty of babies born here. With its history at one time, this place was just as busy as any hospital in Detroit and one of the best for interns to learn in.

Fascinating architecture

saw an autopsy before i was in grade school there. jars filled with brains, hearts and other human organs . spent too much time listening to screams of anguish and pleas for help from the poor souls trapped behind its bars. it may look better but it was hell on earth for many who were cursed to live there. the architecture is enticing but the history is hell!

My flat topped, C or F option Rival Ice-O-Mat is very stiff to turn - especially in the F direction. Can anyone suggest how best to lubricate it?

Looking for Donna who posted the comment on Etta Cheiffetz. A good friend of mine is a Cheefetz and some of his family history points to his Grandmother being Etta Cheiffetz.. Any Help?

I think this is an early version of a Reeves Stretcher. It's used to move patients that must remain supine down stairs or out of tight spaces. It can also be used to restrain violent patients.

400 KW

It is an white superior diesel inline engine.Probably built in the early 1960s.
This type of engine was also used as a standby generator producing KW.

I look at this shot and I can feel the cool masonry and smell the dust mixed with the breeze from the windows.

So, what was the smell like in that place?
