The building seen as St. Elsewhere was actually the Franklin Square House Apartments, a French Second Empire designed structure built in 1868. Although never used as a hospital, it has been the site of the St. James Hotel (its original function), the New England Conservatory of Music, nurses residence and as of late a senior citizen's housing development. A 1985 episode featured a Cheers crossover, in which Drs. Westphall, Auschlander and Craig stop into the fictional Cheers Pub (also set in Boston) for a drink, and Craig gets into a verbal altercation with barmaid Carla Tortelli (Rhea Perlman). This was unusual at the time, as it crossed sitcom characters over into a dramatic series. www.imdb.com/title/tt0083483/
