Historic Saranac Lake needs your help identifying the who, what, where, when and/or why of this photo. This photograph is part of an album kept by Anna Sanlow, head of the X-ray department at the New York State Hospital for Incipient Tuberculosis in Ray Brook. The photographs show staff and patient life at the sanatorium in the 1920s and 30s. The caption identifies it as “Doctors and medical students, 1927,” but no one in the photograph is named. We recognize Dr. Harry Bray (and one of his beloved dogs!) in the bottom left corner; can you help us identify anyone else? Let us know by calling the museum at 518-891-4606 or emailing mail@historicsaranaclake.org. (Photo provided — Historic Saranac Lake Collection, 2020.7.1.20. Gift of Howard Riley.)
