A great deduction indeed, thanks evilavatar!

I went back once after the fire, the state of the building is a bit depressing.

Yes the water was shut off - in an unheated building in New England, the pipes would probably freeze and burst the first winter if they weren't.

Old hospitals did have large windows in the operating room, especially before electricity became a standard... I feel that this hospital (built in 1921) would be far beyond that era though. Perhaps the room was not originally intended as an O.R., or the room wasn't an O.R. at all...

Broken refrigerator = not good.

It looks like someone wrote "Ass-play Cave" in there...whatever makes them happy...

Mr. Motts, this actually may have been used for a training room. We used to have a room like this in the facility I worked at. Students and a teacher or supervisor would be in the other room and wiring for EEG, EKG, or other systems was synced and run into the office behind so that a second set of eyes could monitor the patient while treatment was being done. Sometimes the students would be the ones rendering the treatment depending on how advanced they were and the system inside the office was used to make sure everything was going ok.

Motts, you got to post some pictures of it now that it has been all burnt up and everything. It would be interesting to see it now.

Playroom is Ｃｏｏｌl!!

Was the water cut off to all these old buildings or does any of it still have water in it?

That light bulb above the door seems to be bigger than standard ones.

I love the ceiling. The old fashioned tin tiles look so much better than the tiles they use on new dropped ceilings. Our cafeteria in my old school looked like this but not decayed.

Amtrak's outdoor platforms I've used in MO and IL aren't covered, though.
