It's a plywood covering for security, rather than a door - you wouldn't want a doorknob on that!

No door knob?

I lived in Newington, early 60's to late 60's. My sister and I were diagnosed with potential knock knees. We were referred to this building for examination and corrective shoes. We both went on to run track.

Maybe in the 1960's they cleaned up their act. I was there in the
1950's then it was a house of horrors.

I've never seen a lamp shade like this one... I'd guess it's something from the 1950s-60s.

I spent 18 months in this building, in 1962-64. Thank you for these photos! These walls held many young lives, gave us hope, as "incurables" and "crippled children."

Stupid teenagers

Cool lamp. Do you know when they used lamps like this Motts?

Quality materials really stand the test of time!!! Love it!!!

It's a fire alarm

Makes it more creepy that there is blood still on the walls

Those doors are quite magnificent and the colours are like it's under water. Thank you.
