The View from the Hospital Window

Abby's hospital room overlooked these two small historic parks on 2nd ave and 16th street that he and his brother used to play in with his grandmother in the 1950s when his grandparents lived at the Petersfield on 20th and Second. Also in the photo are the tops of Zehendorf Towers on Union Square (now Phillips Ambulatory Center) which is one block east of Abby's longtime apartment on 14th Street.
