My best guess is that this was the shower area and the small drawers or shelves to the side were where you would put your clothes while you showered. Or perhaps they had numerous laundered hospital gowns or robes in there for after people showered. There were times in the history of institutionalization when there was very little money for patients, and the state bought bulk clothing which everyone wore.

Barkman, if you meant me, the answer is "yes." And, as I am sure you probably know, delirium tremens often includes "formication" in the process.

OK, ~Me, you sick thing! The word "formica" comes from the Latin for ant, so when you think you have bugs crawling all over your body, like when you get the DTs, it is truly called "formication." Don't you BE sassin' me, now! >:-(

"Formication" is one of my all-time personal favorite words, next only to the phrase "butt ugly." :-)
