Does "Just a litte off the top" fit in here somehow?

Hey Motts, i just found this site after doing a search on Richardsonian gothic revival style buildings for a Modern architecture art history class I am taking. I am 34 and just went back to finish my degree and take the last few credits i needed. I was kind of bored by the class but finding your site has really helped! I did a paper on the Buffalo State Hospital and it turned out quite well. I turned my professor on to your site also as i was betting he'd really dig it. I am also really interested in the asylums as i work in a group home for the mentally disabled. The group home is basically the more politically correct replacement for these institutions.

Yea! I guess your right Motts, they're boring when in-use anyway, so you do make a very good point about the laundry after life.
I guess i just needed to feel complete, and the link completed me.

~Me; good catch, no idea how i got "Nibble" from "Nimble" but the more I read it the more I laugh at my silly self.

Just tipped over, although it does look like it was "ejected" from above!

It does look rather small, but I'm invisioning the two lines near the top of the door are about chair-rail height, maybe?

Anyways, this must have really played with the residents' minds...I mean sure they could have been told what they were for but its just weird. Even a perfectly sane person would get a little disturbed with tiny small doors all over the place. Red potion or blue potion? ( I think, right? "Alice in Wonderland," eh, eh?)

Yes, good thing you stopped dead in your tracks....

See, this is what worries me when people go to these places and do drugs and drink...you really need to be fully alert and on your toes at all times to avoid sudden death or serious injury in these places...even completely sober you're still in a lot of danger. Especially younger kids that have no clue about these places to begin with.

Now that brings back memories.
I also worked at a nursing home some yrs back as a director of maint.
We had 4 of those Century tubs w/chair lift, yes! they are still used to this day.

The Leonard Valve Co. supplied the mixing valves for these, they were all limited to no more than 110 F as per NYSDOH, anything over 110 F is considered scalding
