The Seaside
In July we were heading home from a visit to see family in MA and we stopped for the night in CT. I love to scour Google Maps to find interesting places to stop at to stretch our legs and look around. This is the former Seaside Sanatorium built in the 1930s. It's the first institution designed for heliotropic treatment of children with tuberculosis. Later it became a home for the elderly and then for the mentally disabled. Hopefully they will find a new use for it as it was designed by Cass Gilbert who created the Woolworth Building and the US Supreme Court building to name a few.
