What are these here?

Looking up some abandoned photography and found this in an old abandoned hospital.

those boxy machines kinda ruin the eeriness but still cool!

they are

50 lb Troy Laundrite washers one on both ends the 2 dryers in the middle are 50 lb Huebuch  gas dryers and the extractor 2 machines from the end is a troy extractor. The old dryer next to it is a  American 50 lb Zone Air Gas Dryer From around the mid 40s   The 2 washers are early to mid 60 models . The 2 middle dryers are early 80s models as they had the full glass doors.  If it was a hospital laundry was most likely around a 50 to 60 bed hospital.There was also probally a flatwork  ironer there at sometime.

Do you mean Grossingers as in the resort that was in the NY Catskills?

Yes, unfortunately THE Grossinger's in the Catskills

Not to hijack the thread here, but here's a link:

Ummmm, thanks for the link, I THINK!

I just wasted (?) an hour looking at those fascinating pictures of Grossingers. Looks like Dirty Dancing could have been filmed there! It hurts my heart that such an awesome property is just decaying away. And the Westy twins, the Mobilaire fan, this resort appears to be Westy heaven. Remind me why we went to Lake of the Ozarks instead of the Catskills?
