These last two pictures remind me of the movie DreamScape. I am waiting to see a photo of Christopher Plummer walking down these halls.

I love this photo, Motts. Since it hasn't been vandalized, we can see the damage nature and age have done to the building. You captured it beautifully with the contrast of the stairs, wall with peeling paint and the windows.

Grace, I was thinking the same thing. This does have some of the old Motts look in it.

The vaporex is indeed a dehumidifier for indoor pools.

Judging by some of the models on sale this vaporex 33 also appears to be fairly new, just like the Dipper

<<A panic button may also refer to a button used in convenience stores, gas station, or other establishments staffed with a single employee during late hours.>>

or the one I am more familiar with (growing up with family that worked in defense

<<A button in a critical system (such as a nuclear weapons system) used to quickly activate an extreme measure to mitigate an emergency situation.>>

What a contrast to the picture right before of the peeling paint. Suddenly I'm back in the 'real world'.

Some of the great art here is how you have chosen to display the photos here, Motts.

I just love the way the white portion of the ceiling meets the corners and wall of the room. You caught that well in your photograph. Was that ironwork Motts?

Another gallery you post during dead week. My final exams really hate you Motts... but I still love you ;)

At first I thought it was to discourage the unwanted people from using it, but then you would NOT have the deadbolt because it is easy for them to break trying to get in to use it.

When I volunteered at the local low level psych places the LPN's would need to lock the bathrooms until the staff knew someone would actually be in there (sucidal prevention) and they were always type of lock where you could just see from the position if it was 'locked' or 'unlocked'

Seeing this picture almost makes it seem that all your trouble to find a 'good' spot to visit was worthwhile.

The drop down ceiling just breaks my heart. How can people just do this to save a few bucks. If I had been a patient here, I would have felt closed in.

Lynne - this is the second remark about 'creepy' you have made in this gallery. You are starting to scare me!

I know what machine DETH is talking about, and it did look similar when they used it on me. I do not know what the electrical settings were on it however. Mine was used in physical therapy, I was not in a coma nor psychosomatic paralysis.

I also have a small one that I can carry with me. My BIL had the the small one to help his broken finger bones mend.

That wallpaper freaks me. It reminds me of Marc Davis's wallpaper in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion where it is staring at you.

You know Motts.... I did have a final to study for tonight, that plan just went out the window when you posted this gallery ;)

Those handles do fall off, and not always after the funeral.

Here is one famous case:
