I lived in the apartments in 2012-2014 and can confirm there is an underground tunnel. The most common story I've heard for the existence of the tunnel was that it was used for wheeling bodies out to waiting coroner's vehicles so as not to take them through the main doors of the hospital. I know it goes from the existing building's basement out to the lower street level; this link shows a circular opening that has been filled with rocks - that is the street end of the tunnel: https://www.google.com/maps/@48.7381405,-122.4924344,3a,37.5y,127.34h,91.17t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s5klrnoHTrPi_Ep6sobFLLg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 <br /><br />It may also have another branch that connects to the nunnery building but I don't know that for sure. You can see the structure of the original stairs to the right of the driveway with the tunnel. The stairs in the postcard compared to the stairs now show the many changes that happened over the years. At what point the tunnel was added, I don't know. <br /><br />Farther down the street under the existing nunnery building is a strange large basement area: https://www.google.com/maps/@48.7376358,-122.4932732,3a,90y,114.61h,89.58t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOcxDrXjk3m-qi5I0dqVhfw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656<br /><br />You can look in the windows and through a very large crack between the doors; it is empty inside and chained shut. Looking toward the back of that basement area, there are a few steps up to another large door. Where that leads, I don't know. Possibly it connects to the tunnel. <br /><br />The tunnel is not accessible by residents, but is still used by the building maintenance crew to access the boiler system that heats the building. The remaining elevator in the building (there used to be 2) goes to the tunnel with a special key. Strangely the stairs end and I don't know of a staircase that can access the tunnel, though that seems very strange for safety reasons. <br /><br />I know someone who was able to access the tunnel once with a maintenance person and vowed never to go back. I have heard rumors of there still being hospital items down there - wheelchairs, etc. but can't confirm this myself. I have many strange accounts of the building and odd things that people have reported seeing and hearing, though whether you believe or are interested in that probably depends on your tolerance for the strange/unknown.

My grandpa was on his way to work there at Paddy's when he suffered a massive heart attack and died on the street after coming out of the subway. I will never forget that fateful day on March 30, 1976, just 10 days before my 6th birthday. My grandfather was such a good man, everyone loved him. He was a waiter and became a manager at Paddy's. My grandfather spent many of dark morning with the Paddy's van purchasing fresh fish from the Fulton Fish Market. Love you Grandpa!

Perhaps the opening of the new hospital? 1966: My dad, John Bernard Borman, (12/14/22-11/30/2010), told me the following story: He was hospitalized with a shrapnel wound to the cheek in 1945, inflicted during the Battle of Normandy, in which he was the only one of his unit to survive. He was sent to a hospital in Devizes, England where he met and fell in love with a nurse named Kathleen Dunleavy, (Dunlevy?) from County Rossom, Ireland, and fathered Judith Ann (also my name!), who was born July 4,1945. Dad returned home to my mom and us three kids, with the intention to divorce mom and return to marry Kathleen, but his father said he would be disowned from the family if he did this. I like to think that seeing his wife and children also had something to do with why he changed his mind. <br />Mom not only forgave him, she corresponded with Kathleen and sent gifts for the baby, until she "could stand it no more" (her words) and threw away the most recent letter from K, which effectively stopped the correspondence. <br />Dad claims Judith was adopted by an Oxford Don and Kathleen became a nun. He believes he saw her at St. Joseph's Hospital, Bellingham, WA., as she traveled through the United States with a group of Irish nuns who were serving as nurses in Africa and were visiting hospitals in the US. He said he went to a ceremony for the re-dedication of the hospital and he saw her walking down the corridor. She greeted him by name, but he was not able to approach her. I was told by the St. Joseph's info director that they were probably nuns of the "Sisters of Saint Joseph of Peace.”<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18331167926147271485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-24107350207587853532017-01-26T11:24:23.278-08:002017-01-26T11:24:23.278-08:00So I have a post card, made by Curt Teich of Chica...So I have a post card, made by Curt Teich of Chicago in 1916, of "The Auto Train" loaded with passengers in Euclid Beach Park at Cleveland, Ohio. It is different from, but similar to the one shown at Lincoln Park. It clearly has the name "FADGL AUTOTRAIN" on the housing on the side of the engine.

The first is called Druckschrift (or Blockschrift) and its basically like this. Single letters. <br />The second is called Schreibschrift. And its an easier form of Kurrent or Sütterlin as it was called in Germany. And thats the reason why many Americans have trouble reading German handwriting. They are urged to write any communication, letter and so on in Schreibschrift. Because its faster. Not so long ago it was even called Schönschrift (Neat or Beautiful script) <br /><br />Anyway the reason I leave this post, its his. The last words, (dein) Your indicate a male writer. Also its an J. Not a F. It could stand for Johann or Jakob or whatever. <br /><br />The F is written like in Frl. (Fräulein) in the Adress.<br /><br />Thank you for your blog, sadly I just found it now. Yeah I'm always late. I know. Thank you anyway. Love it.

The stamps being placed in odd places, or at angles, comes from something called "the language of stamps" which seems to have been a huge fad around the turn of the century, though it seems to have lingered on into the 20th for some time. If you google language of stamps you'll get a number of images of postcards showing how stamp placement was supposed to convey a message (and there seems to have been no standardization to this) but they mostly seem to have been connected to various ways of saying "I love you."Dark Star in the Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312003791405491874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-24826987091205093392015-07-28T02:54:53.129-07:002015-07-28T02:54:53.129-07:00Amazing story!
