The caption on this glass negative points to a wartime hospital at Iselin, though the record gives no date and marks the title as unverified. Iselin is a community in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey, and the abbreviation "Hosp." suggests a military medical facility, possibly from the First World War era, when many temporary hospitals were set up. The George Grantham Bain Collection comes from a New York news photo service that supplied pictures to newspapers from the early 1900s through the 1920s. Because the caption cannot be confirmed, the location and purpose should be treated as provisional.
