It's the design of the toilet....rather than have the water flow come from top or back, there is a large outlet for the flush to come from the front...supposedly more efficient for flushing...common on institutional commodes where you had a good deal of water pressure and didn't have to worry about the vagaries of gravity fed systems. Hey, lookie me, I am the Lynne of bathroom fixtures! (No offense meant, Lynne).

I second Aimee. Lynne, I never imagined that I would learn so much about human caring from this wonderful photographic site. Although your posts are long on occasion, I look forward to grabbing up my coffee cup, taking a sip, and thinking, "Let's see what Lynne has to say on the matter." Brava!

Lynne, I just had to thank you for all your incredible insight on all the hospital photos. They have really added to my enjoyment of this wonderful site. Kudos to all!

There is something wonderful in the classical architecture of the arch contrasted to the flaking skin of the building...It's like it has a horrible case of eczema. The gorgeous and the ugly... as one.
