The hospital with several wings, a large smokestack, and a parking lot sits on the edge of Fort Greene Park, the site of a Revolutionary War fort. A monument to Revolutionary War prisoners can be seen in the park, as well as lawns, groves of trees, and walkway. A railway can be seen at the top of the image and an apartment complex beyond it. Several blocks of streets, city buildings, and row houses can be seen surrounding the hospital. A building with a radio tower on it can be seen in the lower right hand corner.
