Wow..hello! People are obsessed with being "politically correct" today. But duh..back then, the word "retarded" was a valid term..it wasn't a slam to the patient. It was used back then like we use "mentally challenged" today. I get a little tired of the constant PC crap.

Classic!....May Fortune Favor the Foolish! Well done.

Cupolas, yes. A really cool look - fine picture.
Google Earth rather nice event, "Street view - Click To Go"
- you may cruise down Chestnut Street, and enjoy the sight of Chestnut Green beautiful cupola-topped red brick buildings basking in the sun behind a emerald green manicured lawn.
Would rather have this, than demolition, honestly.
It looks very nice, indeed.

Looks like a small town. This place has soul. Handsome.
Awesome thread - and thank you all so much for the stories you are sharing. Really heartfelt and moving.
And thank you Mr.Motts for you wonderful dedication, hard /at times dangerous/ labor, and stamina to create all these fantastic pictures in all these amazing Galleries.
It is an on-going + never-ending love-affair for me + so many more, and am so happy have found.
May you all always be well is my daily wish.

Yes, am i awe - it is soo beautiful old-school precious -
and it even has trolley-wheels so it could be moved.
Or maybe they are more like "stem-rollers"? Heavy. Strange.
Maybe it has been saved and taken care of.
...wish i knew.....

This looks like an old town. It really is a very good look.
Now today: AWESOME! Very beautiful indeed.

Everywhere they put those "hatbox-lamps" - they are so funny.

Yes. Mike - just looked at some more pictures of Chestnut Green - it is really beautiful and lovely. Although am very happy for the success of Foxboro - am still saddened for the ones that did not make it.
USA is very rich in many ways.
Some are enjoying those cupolas.
Overpriced? Is it not OK? Rich persons/people have to something with the money.

That Lightbulb!!
Maybe it even worked.

Thanks for the link: Chestnut Green.
Just to know that this forlorn-looking space is NOW renovated and used makes my heart jump with joy.
See - how nice it can be done - if will is there.

No, there's nothing to tie on to. They're most likely how the water entered the tub; the placement of these would create an even temperature.

These old hydrotherapy were usually fitted with a canvas cover stretched on top. Here are photos of some intact ones, and vintage shots from the 1930s that show how they were used: http://opacity.us/ephe...continuous_bath_time

Could the knobs have been used to tie restraints to?

cool

Sounds like the author(s) need more social skills, with that rude title...

Three hinges on the door.
Are there two, or three hinges on the doors in USA these days?
In Sweden we usually have two.
