Such interesting history of this place. It looks so stately. The sky really adds to the somber feeling #11925227

Spectacular architecture...quite impressive but what a history this sanatorium/prison must have. Your photo captures the melancholy moodiness of the many lives who walked thru those doors. Excellent capture and excellent info, Tammy! #11925251
