Those are really beautiful lamps up there and so very many of them.
How astonishing & mysterious that they are still there after all these years. Intact. It is a wonderful photo. Bless, + thanks!

Thank You so much for the Historic photo from 1937. It is breathtaking to realize that the trees are now taller than the building; thus it is not seen from above /anymore/

Mr.M. You were always brave - just to go INTO this yellow-tiled room is fantastic and Thank You!

I have just discovered one of my ancestors died here in 1905. She was 17. Pulmonary Tuberculosis. I'm from Scotland. She was born in Scotland too and had only been in the US for 8 months - very sad.

This is the nurses home isn't it? I've seen it in photos on another site. Nurses homes are similar of course world over. I lived in one once, (Australia) and it was fun. With our red capes and nurses caps. Can see nurses dressed like that running up those stairs...Mary Mallon socialized with the Riverside nurses in that home.
