just today I read that the re development is to start in the Autumn / Fall ...about time too. will the locals be able to afford an appartment/ house there?
that machine is an autoclave. it used steam from the boiler room to sterilize surgical equipment and glass. This one has the steam ports still visible and the drain port for the condensate water that collected in the bottom.
Sara, everyone who gets caught in the building get arrested. There have been something like 30 arrests in the last few years.
FYI it's still mostly there. the town is still arguing about what to do with it.
I come back on this site on a regular basis, I don't know why, but I do. Maybe it's because I hope to see if my old friend Tom Tom has posted!
I would think it would be fun to live in the "Ritz" cockroaches and all. To get away from home for the summer and have a fun job and meeting new people. Sounds great to me!
I really appreciate these picts. I grew up and still live less than a mile from FSH. My grandmother worked there as a RN from the 30's till it closed. She walked there every day. I have always loved and been intrigued by the campus. My mother and her siblings went to the church there when they were young one of her memories was when she was only 7 and took the wrong exit from the church basement and got stuck in the tunnels under the campus that lead to the patients buildings. I drive by daily and watch the changes not only here but all over my town. It makes me sad. I can't stop the development but I am glad that they are keeping a majority of the buildings and refurbishing some of the beautiful old administration houses. I would love to live in one. Thanks for finally giving me the view to the inside I've always wanted.
