East Nurses Home

View of the East Nurses' Home, built in 1905 as a dormitory for employees at the Fernald Center. It was constructed in a similar fashion to the three other nurses' homes, however East Nurses had not been renovated in recent years and its interior remains as one of the most intact examples of Queene Anne architecture at the hospital. With the exception of the front door and the removal of a skylight, the building appears virtually unchanged in eighty-six years.
