Nice, man.

You know, it just took me 5 minutes to realize the 'slashes' I couldn't find were actually the shadows on the doors I was seeing.

If I'm seeing that correctly that is a very odd ward lock key.. most arent curved and/or (stainless) steel.

What a freakin' great find. Id love to be able to bring my camera there, i'd be there all day.

I was thinking more along the lines that they could be chutes? I can't picture them from any other angle but from what I know or have seen, looks like chutes.. or perhaps those boxes..thingys.. rotated and seperated coal chunks? Or im just way off and wrong.

I dig the dead leaf hangin out towards the bottom.. maple leaf??

I almost commented on the birdies a few photos back, Eagles! How awesome.

You sure this was always a military hospital? It just seems odd that it's barred.. but perhaps it was put into use during battle? Just odd..

id imagine there was previously some structure that was build around/on the raised area... I work with individuals from state hospitals that would trip and kill themselves on surfaces like that... so thats my guess,. alex

Mesh shadow.. now that is awesome...

This reminds me 10 fold of Utica State. Lots of the ward solariums and doctor offices were set up this way.. in similar cheerful colors.

I think it's just a hallway cata.. because it's a military hospital.. and it would need a heater because that room is fricken' spacious with tall ceilings and whatnot

In an old chemical factory in Utica there were very similar militia weaponry like this laying about.. torpedos and junk. No idea why they were stored there, though.

All those pegs on the wall were probably the faucets and soap dispensers at one time...

Yeah the entire door is covered with mesh... perhaps to keep violent patients from wandering and trying to get in... thats how it is where I work anyway..
