TW: The caption to this Shorpy caught my eye. This is an early 1900's shot of a lying in hospital on 2nd Ave. between 17th and 18th in NYC. It had to have been the same building we lived in for a year in NYC. JP Morgan (the mogul not the bank) had built the building originally as a maternity hospital, at some point it was converted into residential space. Our place was very large by NYC standards but the space was awkward which is what happens I suppose when a hospital becomes apartments.
