Married Nurse Home - Harrisburg State Hospital

Описание: Exploring the Married Nurse Home at Harrisburg State Hospital.

During the 19th and first half of the 20th century it was customary for not only the superintendent and his family to live at the hospital, but also the attendants, nurses, and other staff. The female nurse home was constructed first from 1906-1907, it was originally only a two-story building, but a third floor was added soon after completion. The male nurse home took much longer to complete. Funds for the male building were actually appropriated for in 1909 but due to many delays and lack of funds the building wasn't usable until 1914. A lack of state funds caused many alterations to the original plans for both buildings. One of the biggest alterations caused by funding problems was the lack of fireproof building materials. Unlike all the other buildings built between 1893 and 1915 which were constructed of concrete and brick, the nurse homes were only brick on the exterior. Floors and stairs were made of wood. A fireproof stairwell was added to the buildings at a later date. A separate building for married employees was built in 1928 near the grounds of the original hospital cemetery. In either the 1980s or 1990s the female nurse home was demolished, and an above ground walkway was built connecting the female violent ward and the female infirmary.
