So cool. I'd want a stairwell of that design if I could build my own mansion.
(that's like the biggest IF in the world!)

Come play with us, Danny....

Exactly what Lynne said,
Where's the old chair?

That light gives it a menacing presence!

Or would you rather just take the elevator?

If you're not gonna say it, I'm gonna say it.
"Is it safe?"
Sorry, couldn't resist!

Uh, no thanks, Kassie. That upholstry looks toootally nasty. Like barf out!

It ain't valuable anymore! Although I have a CD by an Australian guy named Ross Bolleter who uses abandoned pianos and organs. Compositions are specified for "ruined piano" and "decayed organ."

I have a lot of compassion for people with cerebral palsy. Mobility we take for granted is soooo difficult for them. I recommend the movie "My Left Foot," with Daniel Day-Lewis. They used to just treat CP sufferers like they were "idiots." Christy Brown turned out to be a great artist and writer.
Anyway, hydrotherapy, like ECT, could be used therapeutically OR abusively, as it sometimes was.

While we ought to grant as much humanity to retarded citizens as we can, it does bear mentioning that people with severe retardation are often incapable of the social anxiety that would make bodily exposure humiliating.
Institutional care is depressing in its factory-like treatment of patients, but truly dysfunctional facilities could be downright barbarous. Among the iniquities Geraldo Rivera exposed at Willowbrook was that staff herded masses of patients into a room with a drain and just hosed them down. Kinda makes that tub room look like a health spa by comparison!

...and it's on the the ENTRANCE! You're an intrepid sould, Motts!

That set of wheels looks about 1935!

The ghost of the nude nurse may lurk within the buildings! : O

I was thinking just what Anna said! Eh, it's probably just another icky, moldy old basement down there.

You've achieved an illusory quality with your b&w that you could never create with color!
