did you notice that if it was electric, it had a sequentially-numbered yellow property tag on it? like they need to keep track of light fixtures? seems obsessive.

Its kinda wierd to see these people so long ago in a room that was alive and now abandoned and left to devour itself. just take a minutes to look at the nurses and then let your eyes wander over to the empty roting room. It give a sort of wierd feeling.

This was a morgue, not a solarium or a bedroom. These were built for medical practice and efficiency, not to look pretty or comfort the residents... I don't think assumptions towards patient care should be made from these "behind the scenes" places.

That would be the contagious disease hospital on North Brother Island, home of Typhoid Mary; they helped the survivors of the General Slocum fire on June 15, 1904. 1,021 people died, mostly women and children.

North Bother Island is between Queens and the Bronx, Renwick is on Roosevelt Island (formerly known as Blackwell's Island) which is between Queens and Manhattan.

i think this was a hospitol that tried to save people on a boat that was on fire cause a hosptiol was used as a holiding site for the dead bodies and to help survivors i forget the name of the boat but it was on the history channel like a year ago but it was intersting cause it had to deal with a hospitol that was secluded im not sure if it was this one or if there are many othere hospitols around like it fromt he time period......i will have to look into this much more
