While researching some family history, we found that my grandfather had listed Eden Hall as his final destination when he came to the U.S. from Alsace in 1902. He worked there as a gardener.
Thank you for these beautiful and heartbreaking photos, which allow us a glimpse into a lost world.

Hey Mary--they still threaten jail time for active TB. Should the rest of the population get the joy of being exposed to such a disease b/c someone with it doesn't see the need for hospitalization?

A hopper and a bedpan sanitizer are two different things! A hopper is a big sink with flushing capabilities--I've never seen a fold up version before...

Taylor, Xray films went in here. The tech would expose the films in the Xray room, then slide the plate into the cabinet so when they went in the darkroom on the other side, they'd open the door in there to develop the film. The unexposed side held the cassettes with loaded, ready to go films. You keep it in there so they aren't exposed to scatter radiation when you are shooting the one you want.

Yup, as kind of answered above, they are impression trays. Usually we fill them with alginate to make a negative impression of the arch and then pour them with dental stone (not plaster of paris) to get the positive replication of the arch. These seem to be aluminum and adjustable (somewhat) to fit a variety of sizes of mouths.

The "motor" on the tray is the rheostat--you push it to make the handpieces run. Definately Ritter equipment here! I can't believe that the cuspidor hasn't been smashed
