Lots of people put their hard work into this space, erecting it, and even more, different people treated the sick here. I wonder how many patients were comforted by this open expanse, the air, and the sunlight. This isn't a sad hospital. This...this is a happy place.

Someone, years and years ago, poured time, effort, and perhaps even hope for the future into those wall tiles. It makes you think. Where are they now? Would they be happy with the history of this place? What were they thinking as they placed them up? Hope for the future? Dread of the disease? Were they wealthy? Poor? Starving? Dying?

Sobering. Very sobering.

(Pun unintended! XD)

Yes, it's a stairwell leading into the basement.

This tower was obviously not designed to be defended by sword wielding solders. What were they thinking!!

The red brick checkerboard looks like it was added after the fact. Cool looking, but out of place.

Thanks, that one always gets me!

It's whoever, not whomever. Whoever is she subject of showed up, so it takes the nominative case.

Reminds me of the Winchester house. Dang. I don't think I could have resisted knocking a hole through that to see what was inside! OK, not really, but it would have been REEEEEEEEEally hard to resist, and would have driven me crazynot to see what was back there.

"SIGNS"

LOVE LOVE LLLOOOVVVE THIS!!!! :-)

Im having a time trying to figure out what the area behind the black brick was used for? Was that another stairwell going down?

Nice captured shot

Beautiful shot, stairs and doors...where are they leading to.....
Nice colours

It does look inviting.

This was another interesting set of photos. There seems to be so many different styles in this campus. Every door seemed different, windows varied, wall and ceilings varied from pic to pic. The outside photos seem cohesive but the inside spaces could definitely show the different builders involved.

Very enjoyable tour!
