Still see that same exact pattern of bannisters in most of the older NYC schools.

What was in those metal doors between the coves?

Sponge bath area maybe. Nurse would have the bath soap and other items on the shelves then wash the patients using the faucet. I see no shower head so seems like they'd be standing there waiting for it to be over with.

Just makes quite a statement doesnt it?!?

Awesome mossy stairway with vines and greenery tangled through the railing. Who ever used that room had an excellent chance to see who was being slipped in and out the back way. :)

Love this photo! I was wondering the same as Tony. Is this a vine or actually a tree?

This shot gives me the he be ge bees

The steps could use a trim.

What a gorgeous photo, Motts — this would make fabulous wallpaper. I wish I had a 1/10th of your photographic talent.

Correct mr. Motts it is the TB ward.

That tile and brick of the same color was ubiquitous in the part of North E. NJ I grew up in. I called it catholic brick because so many of the catholic schools and churches I saw were built with it.
Turns out that glased tiles like that were a 'modernity' because impermeable surfaces were less likely to harbour live disease or germs. I think we got away from that concept because cleanliness in general is more common and the use of drugs.
