The Seaside, a historic medical facility in Waterford, Connecticut, was designed by renowned architect Cass Gilbert and completed in 1934. Built as the first institution specifically designed for heliotropic treatment of tubercular children, it represents a significant milestone in medical architecture. The complex comprises an exceptional collection of Tudor Revival-style buildings, complemented by Neoclassical elements, which remain generally well-preserved. The facility's pioneering approach to therapeutic architecture—harnessing sunlight as treatment—distinguished it nationally, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
