Clinton House and Towns Hospital


Early "friends of Bill W" pics






Here's Dr Bob's home. Now it's a historical site open to the public. Steppingstones is still in N.Y. A gorgeous home and many interesting historical rooms in it. This is the Mayfair hotel lobby where the big decision had to be made in 1935. Finally, here's the Clinton Street House and Towns Hospital.
