Well, the slot in the door would make it seem to be an observation room or something...but wouldn't peeling wood be more dangerous to someone than metal? Think of the splinters!

Really great shot! I'll bet someone made a fortune selling these butt ugly tiles to every institution and prison in the country! I think we even saw them in some of the European hospitals Motts visited.

It's beautiful that someone thought to remember those people. That someone cared enough. Now those people are memorialized in a way not many can be. Beautiful.

It's amazing how little time it takes for these buildings to break down on the inside. I mean, within a year most places have tons of peeling paint and ceilings fall down.

I'm with the majority. As i've said before, I think the paperwork really brings the whole thing into focus. We look at these pictures and see the building and architecture and craftsmanship, which is of course incredible, but sometimes we forget the reason for the building...people. I feel that paperwork, even artwork brings that human element into clarity and we see the place in a much different way.

We begin to ask questions like who was this person, why were they there, did they appreciate how beautiful the view is?

Probably a couple of gang people playing target practice, what better place than an abandoned hospital in the middle of the river? There has to be any number of places to hide out should someone hear them.

I love the windows, it looks like they are intact and someone just wiped off various spots so you could see the foliage through it. Kinda like a bathroom mirror.

Ah the classic lone chair! In almost every gallery there is at least one lone chair..."Oh boy here comes Motts, chair take your position". Chairs deserve a photo op too!

But where is the other classic? Is there a, dare i say it, soap dispenser? I'm holding my breath!
