The true beauty of McLean Hospital is that no expense was spared in the construction of the houses that dot the campus. This house for adolescents held some miraculous details in the stairways. Where normally there would be metal cages and fences to keep patients from falling, or worse jumping, to their deaths, these staircases were surrounded by beautiful woodwork that served the same purpose of keeping the patients safe while also making the function a form of beauty.
