"St. Joseph's Hospital,
Stamford, Connecticut. Entrance facade sharp from left." Photographs taken for architectural firms, such as this one from the Gottscho-Schleisner Collection, were intended to serve as records of a firm’s work, records to which the architects and their clients could refer. They therefore tend to portray newly-constructed or recently-renovated locales, and ones done for private clients, and thus offer us a glimpse into medical settings sometimes quite different from those documented in the other kinds of photographs just described. Places and facilities rather than people, programs, and encounters tend to be the focus of architectural photographs.
