Yet another day at Sunnyside! :D

Some history:

Carnegie House was originally built to house private patients and it looks out over formal gardens. The house was designed to resemble a country house, both externally and internally as this was considered to be of benefit to the patient's well-being. The patients were free to move around the grounds, as they wished and tennis courts, a croquet lawn, a bowling green and a curling pond were provided for recreational use. The ceiling in the dining room and one of the fire surrounds were painted by the eminent Scottish artist, Douglas Strachan (1875-1950). It was built in 1896 and is named after the founder of the hospital, Susan Carnegie.


This building is stunning. The level of detail is just incredible. I am kicking myself for not spending a bit longer in here, but I got to see the one part I have always wanted to see with my own eyes. I'll just let the pictures do the talking!

That ceiling is incredible. I think I prefer this part to the main building...

I took so many shots with my wide and my fish, just couldn’t get a good enough pic because of the way the sunlight was coming in directly. This is one building being saved, I just wish Angus Council would stop being fucktards and let Pert Bruce get on with the work!
 
Nice photos. My favourite is the shots of the ceiling. I assume it was the entrance to the hospital. But tartan carpet in some of the corridors.
 
WOW so thats what I've missed!!! :hopelessness:Love the stair carpet:highly_amused: and the stained glass and bannisters, def worth another trip just to try and see that fine ceiling!

Fantastic set of pics Brewtal, feeling rather green eyed again lol, your patience and determination finally paid off!:encouragement:
