Yes, they sure built pretty back in the days; that wider lowest step is so inviting to the rest of the staircase. Like indeed. May you always be well Mr. Motts - you are brave.
Lamp FTW! WHAT is that contraption in the middle of picture? An upside-down cabinet?? Hmmmmm
What a mess! That yellow torn curtain gets me tangled up in thought at the way things last. A piece of material still hanging on there, the rest broken and thrashed.
Well done, Mr. Motts. May you always be well and safe.

I am trying to find a place somewhere in Ithaca that I spent some time at when I was 4 for physical therapy because of Polio back around 1958? I don't think it was only for disabled children. Not mentally, But just physically handicapped. I have memories of the inside but not the out side, or the name. I just wondered if it still exists and if it ever became like all the rest and had to shut down? These places kinda remind me of that place.

Looks like fun Azuliana - it's always great when these massive steel mills can be re-purposed into parks and useable space.

I have only explored the Corcoran Building and the Sunburst Building, and have not seen anything that resembled an operating room in either. I believe these areas were used as dormitories, day rooms, and various treatments.

So much of the mile-long "String of Pearls" was demolished; I'm betting there were standard medical facilities any large state hospital would have (surgery, laboratory, morgue, etc) that were also torn down. Or, perhaps these medical buildings have been renovated and integrated into the NYIT campus.
Random! And weird, too.With one pink among all the blue ones. Does not make any sense to me at all.
How nice such a fine job was done covering the windows up and notching the boards. Stays in place better too. Really like the tree right with white branches. Can´t stop smiling!
