Seaside Sanatorium

Waterford, CT

This dramatic shoreline complex opened in 1934 as a tuberculosis hospital designed around sunlight and sea air, then later served other institutional uses before closing in 1996. The grounds are now a state park, while the striking abandoned hospital buildings remain fenced and off-limits.
