@autoguy I assume that is their purpose... snore blockers perhaps?

Yep there's a closely-kintted wire mesh over the arched openings that looks rather hastily added on. It could be for preventing pigeons from roosting in there, or a safety precaution for patients when it was open.

Actually it's a golf ball; there's a golf course that runs directly next to these buildings, and some make it inside!

Yeah those gas heaters were probably added after construction; it heated up metal fins and had a large fan that blew the hot air into the room. I lived in a building with one of those for a few years, and you were either freezing when it was off or sweating when it was on. It was pretty crappy.

@Claudia, yes those grates are from the original heating system, possibly a forced air system. Some rooms had retrofitted an additional ceiling mounted gas burner, often seen in industrial spaces. Not seeing a basement of any kind, there wouldn't be a place for a steam boiler.

@Binky it's possible the knee walls had separated sets of beds if this was a dormitory. They offered a tiny bit of privacy while allowing an nurse or attendant a view of the entire ward. They could have also been for partitioning some space for things like desks, medical equipment, etc.

Really nice picture.

I would of liked to see more photos of the town and less of junk cars.

Wow, no basement, no insulation. The temperature must have swung wildly

No hinges either.
