Mountainside NJ

Children's Country Home

Glimpsed, set back from the road on several acres, this became the large Children's Specialized Hospital system, main campus in News Brunswick with other service locations throughout Jersey. But this hospital, in the Fifties & probably well into the Sixties,  treated long-term care polio sufferers in iron lungs. Which of course gave it a foreboding air despite the pleasant  surroundings,. It remains a long-care treatment facility.
