The Seaside, Tudor Revival medical building in Waterford, United States.
The Seaside stands on the Connecticut shore with massive terraces facing the sea, displaying characteristic Tudor Revival elements including steep gable roofs and tall chimneys.
The facility opened in 1934 as the first medical center in America specifically designed for heliotropic tuberculosis treatment in children under architect Cass Gilbert's direction.
The building demonstrates the early 20th-century medical belief that natural elements like sunlight and ocean air contributed to tuberculosis treatment and patient recovery.
The structure now operates as part of a Connecticut State Park, with designated parking areas for visitors who must explore the grounds on foot.
The medical facility features an exceptional combination of domestic architectural design and healthcare functionality, incorporating extensive outdoor spaces across multiple levels.
