A Works Progress Administration-era mural by Victor Pedrotti Trent, painted somewhere around 1942 and stretching 50 feet around this room in the heart of the children’s ward. It depicts scenes from Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle, classic Hudson Valley stories.
Its held up pretty good for a 70-year-old painting, huh? There was an attempt to preserve it in 2008, but it’s still waiting here five years later. Who knows how much longer it’ll hold up against water damage and spirited young persons.
