Looks like a pop art project this time

ditto Lucie

IDK guys the nun in my family is basically a cartoon caricature of the evil nun but the nuns I have known throughout my life were actually pretty cool and easy going.

How much Eldo?

There she is. Wonderful I want one in my house for every room :)

As Rome slowly declined people scavenged the buildings for materiel to make new smaller ones. The Coliseum was filled with homes at one point.
I think illiteracy probably also made graffiti rather pointless as well. It just occurred to me to wonder if anyone had ever mistaken a pictorial graffiti for "art" .

I love these old seats.

I'm loving that dome ceiling.

This one would make for very dull skateboarding.

I'm with Mott's on that. From my very young days of exploring the best option was simply to pay attention to your surroundings and constantly map out escape routes then RUN! if someone tries to get you.

I would guess that the number of hinges had something to do with the weight of the door.
Maybe it was an overkill design thing?
I like 3 more.

hahahahaha I'm laughing at myself. I refreshed many times and waited for a couple of minutes before double posting. OOPs.

Weird I had thought the post went through.
Anyway I found an aerial pic taken in the 1960's right about when I was in the Children's Shelter here. It shows the original 1905 hospital out behind the 1929 Y shaped building up on the hill. I'm pretty sure this hallway is in that old building. I was told when I was younger that it was the dorms for the nurses at the big hospital but there was also an old map on that site which showed the original hospital and that is what told me that "dorm" was actually the original 1905 hospital. It is gone now and Condos replaced it. The main 1929 hospital which leads off this gallery is being remodeled into condos as I type.
That old hospital is where the county had a Children's Shelter from the 50's until 1981.

I found an aerial picture of the place taken from behind the main hospital. Its on FB and it was posted years ago but for some reason in all my searches there it only came up for me today. Anyway there was also a picture of an old map showing the original 1905 hospital building and that is what the E shaped building was. The E faced the 1929 hospital building built on top of the hill. I'm not sure exactly what part of that E shaped building this is but I am pretty sure it is in there. The long leg of the E that connects the three arms looks like it was an afterthought to connect the three buildings in the picture but I think it was probably part of the original design.
