Those colors pop so readily, for a moment I thought I was looking at a B&W photo with some color added, but nope, it's all color!

I don't care who you think you are. No animal "deserves" to be a coat, and people who think so are disrespectful, useless, and barren of humanity (furs make very warm coats but that's beside the point). Hate animals such as raccoons all you want, but take that trash somewhere else. This isn't the appropriate forum to air such views. Don't like the critter? Don't bother it. Better for you, better for the animal (which might have rabies). This coon is best admired from afar. And seriously? We're here to admire the photography, anyway, not to bandy around the uses of an animal, or decide who is dirtier.

Yeah, I know I'm years late, but I leave this here for the next person reading these comments.

Cool

i did it with my homeless wanderer in the morgue there and he loves it

In the early 1980s Building 15 housed what were termed "Chronic/Acute" patients. There were six wards on three floors. The two wards on the first floor were "open" wards--the doors were not locked. Floors 2 and 3 had locked wards and the sickest patients were on the third floor. The elevator could only be accessed by staff with a key. Parking was in the back of the building where the ground was lower. The entry was into the basement where the laundry was stored.

Before they moved the patients over from Central Islip hospital every ward in Group 4 was a female ward (geriatrics).

This was a dormitory. They were modified for patient "privacy" as an upgrade from its being completely open originally. There were armoire closets in each cubicle between the beds for patients belongings. The office had a window that the evening and night staff could get a quick look into the dorm while in the office completing charts and records.

Yeah, that's a staff coffee room; but the med room was the same size--two doors down the hall (at least in Group 4 they were).

is it still standing whats going on with it

It's kind of funny but I get it. The shape is very indicative of a period lamp shade form.
