Yes they were stands for the big hair dryer mechanisms that are now gone...

The exterior was all similar looking to this except for administration which was a bit fancier... but people over near the active facility didn't look too happy when we rolled up!

Jmack, it is the flimsy fake wood panels peeling off.

The ceilings were pretty tall, about 10 feet or so, reminded me of a Kirkbride building... then I felt a pang of homesickness! :)

Most of the patient rooms in England had those little windows over the doors... they didn't seem to serve a purpose other than letting some sunlight light into the hallways.

Looks like it was cut with a hand saw, perhaps to get at some copper wiring or for an asbestos abatement estimate.

It's a window cover like in the previous photo... just a tall room with a dual-color paint job.

Thanks, Candace has done a few self portrait shoots but she's usually behind the camera. I'll have to ask her the last question when I see her.

Thank you, I don't make a living taking photos but this does surpass being a hobby :-)

On the concrete platform in the previous photo.

Yes most windows on this building had a cage over them with two big locks.

I do wonder how clean the abatement was, the building was gutted and demolished very quickly...

Perhaps the old wheelchair was in storage until the entire building became "storage". Or it might've still been a good wheelchair, it was pretty comfortable and still rolled around pretty good...
