Like the main building, this structure was designed by famed architect Cass Gilbert in the Tudor Revival style. The Nurse’s Residence was built for… you guessed it, housing for the nurses who worked at the Seaside Sanatorium and treated the young children with Tuberculosis. Next to the Maher Building at Seaside Sanatorium, the Nurse’s Residence building (1935) sits in the same sad state but retains a lot of its architectural character and charm.

Immediate northeast has a simple design, but one that reflects the style of the houses. Identical sun porches are recessed at either end of the house.
#SEASIDE SANITARIUM WINDOWS#
There are three-part windows above the doors which project from the wall plane and have cross-braced faux balustrades of wood below. The duplex residences feature a symmetrical facade with two main entranceways, located in slightly projecting pavilions, and are set within basket-arched openings, detailed with alternating brick and granite voussoirs. While the building was constructed after Gilbert’s death in 1934, the plans were likely all drawn up at the time the Maher (main) building was in 1933. Like the Main Building and Nurse’s Residence, this duplex is credited as a design by the great Cass Gilbert. I would for sure live here, could you?

Additionally, a catslide roof extends from the rightmost bay and covers a recessed porch with basketweave brickwork above. At the waterfront, a large open porch (since boarded up) and large windows at the first floor, would provide natural light and air into the building, along with amazing views of Long Island Sound. Above, a diamond-pane window would allow natural light into what may be the stairhall.
The campus-facing facade features an L-shape with a garage wing and projecting entry pavilion in stone. The Superintendent’s Residence is interesting as it has two completely different facades. Like the Maher Building, Nurse’s Residence, and Duplex Residence previously featured, this building was designed in the Tudor Revival style and is also credited as a work of architect Cass Gilbert. Built in 1936, the home is elegantly sited at the waterfront, which would have provided amazing views for the man in charge of running Seaside, the Tuberculosis hospital for children here. The last stop we will see at the stunning Seaside Sanatorium campus in Waterford, Connecticut is the former Superintendent’s Residence.
