I worked for a hospital that built a totally new building in the 70's. The colors of those chairs are the colors that were on the walls, the chairs, the carpets, and everything else you can think of when we moved into the new building in Aug 1977. So that would give some idea of the date for these chairs.

I miss this place.All the people who worked here were amazing and so dedicated,My grandma and 2 aunts worked here for as long as I can remember and I grew up on all of these grounds with them visiting,and making (some of the safer!!) patients happy,there were so many stories and things I have learned here.It is almost majestic and your pictures are so captivating,you should be so proud of yourself as these mean a lot to me and my family and you have done this place a true justice.

these chairs were made of fiberglass and I will always remember how my legs were so itchy when I sat in them!

I have to say I love this one. Being a little girl roaming these halls I feel I was a part of something special. My aunts worked with mostly the older patients and I visited here weekly. I feel like you captured their existence in this hospital,truly,I always saw a spark of life behind their "Cataracts".

What could you possibly put on the 'other" line? I think they've pretty much covered every genre!
