I know it is a crack in the wall, but on that second step it looks like a large nail. Reminds me of Home Alone. Man, I watch way to many movies.

Love this!

Patients stricken with TB had to remain isolated within the hospital complex for months or even years to prevent spreading the disease, creating a kind of institutional lifestyle. Entertainment was an important way to relieve these stresses of being "cooped-up" too long, so movies, plays, music, and games were circulated well throughout the hospital (remember too that television was still in infancy when these buildings were constructed).

The same thinking applies to the old psychiatric hospitals, although focus might lean more on the therapeutic values of entertainment.

A Hilda Kirkwood died Sep 1974 at the age of 70, in Halifax, Plymouth, MA.

Makes me think of the movie Labryinth when the little guy comes up and lifts the paver Sara drew on with her lipstick and turns it around.

This bed looks a lot different than the other institutional ones in the Time photos.
