I don't know about Norwich, but the CT prison in Enfield was doing all their own baking as recently as the70's. (No, I wasn't a "guest" there - just a visiting JayCee.)

amazing shot.. i love the perspecivte from which it was taken... truely amazing

Perhaps they were still in their original boxes and brand new, waiting to be filled at the hospital pharmacy? That is my guess.

Qui Transtulit Sustinet...'He who is transplanted, sustains'. The CT state motto. It's the state flag, without the blue backing, for the most part. The two trees are most likely white oaks, the state tree (Charter Oak)

Reminds me of many of our downtown buildings built during the same time period. They are covered in marble all over on the insides. Marble must have been "in vogue" at that time. It is a lost art, that is for sure.

I lived In CT for a couple of years and I didn't recognize it. Of course, it looks a little worse for wear. I am a straight "A" student, by the way.

Some people aren't from Connecticut, so why would they learn it in their school? I know my states motto and I know its seal, but I wonder if you would know it off-hand?

It's difficult to believe so many people don't recognize the State Seal or motto.
Didn't they go to school?

Lets give him credit for 5th - there are 5 windows...

Well...cool wouldn't be in the Latin language...and salmon didn't translate well...so, how about "beautifully colored building?

That'd be:

"pulchre infucatus aedificium edificium"

They look like the pigeon coops that my uncle has in his yard.

WHY WOULD THEY TAKE THE MEDICATION AND NOT THE BOTTLES?

Max, yes, it does..... it seems to be an odd size or out of proportion or something... I dont think I'd want to be viewing that locked door from the inside.

How sad that must have been for the patient. No matter which side of the bed you got up on..... the room would still be awful.

Simply amazing.
