I think the arches make this hallway look a bit creepy.

I did a bit of searching, but can't find a year. The part that was the victim of arson was built in the '20s or '30s, though, from what I can find.

Welcome, by the way. Always nice to hear from a lurker now and then.

I don't believe he posted anything regarding the year built.

Considering it was a TB Hospital to start I would wager late 1800's to Early 1900's.

I'm sure he'll chime in with the answer once he sees this again.

First thought that popped into my head, though, was "Mexican Sombreros"!

I've been a big Opacity fan since last year April '05, but, have made very few posts (quiet respect). I just gobble up every photo and every gallery for hours on end!

Motts, you are absolutely wonderful, talented, and truely has what it takes to have an ever-growing fan base!

Now, this place is jumping with lively talk, so I am chiming in! *waves to everyone*

Now, for my question...I either missed Mott's notion in his description, or it was left out: <b>Does anyone know when this place was built?</b>

Thanks! *passes chocolate to all*

actually, in that 1930's to 1970's time frame, most women gave birth under general anethesia. Mrs. Smith would've had no clue who was there or what happened until she woke up hours later.

I work at an Army-Navy store in Massachusetts, we got the same machine in the back room. The boss paid a lot of money for it, something like $1000 dollars or so. The one in your picture sure would be good for spare parts...

Andy, I used to work with people who had petit and grand mal seizures. The aftermath is no picnic. I feel for you, man. Do you still suffer with seizures, or no?
