Motts, no offense, and im not trying to criticize or insult you in any way. But, wasnt it sorta stupid to go in the winter? your footprints are kinda obvious. is there a reason you went during the winter, or did you have permission to go of some sort? i doubt that, though.
Lynne, the staff dont care anyway, lol. and i seemed to have missed that room, Motts. what building and floor isit? and i wonder what that little hole behind the desk is... maybe its a cubbyhole, maybe a passageway of some sort that was covered up?
A mimeograph. A duplicator that makes copies of written, drawn, or typed material from a stencil that is fitted around an inked drum. Used in schools and offices before the photocopier was introduced in the 80's.
the stairs were there to enter the door that was once there, but it was knocked down and a wall was put there instead, to track patients moe thoroughly. as for the medicine cabinet, i have no clue why that is there. and, the reason for the pink walls was another attempt to make the place less scary. and besides, these "pateints" have never seen the outside world. i dont think they knew pink was a girly color, much less cared.
The design of this place is just incredible. Too bad you don't see the same grandeur in most current architecture, but I guess the cost must be prohibitive.
sande, the reason this tub had no faucets was because it was filled from the front of the tub. notice the hole where the pipe once was on the side of the tub w/ out the towel.
Motts, was the x-ray's printer still there? last time i was in that room, it was, and it had a bunch of x-rays near it. it was frewaky, because most were de-formed, with missing or fused limbs, and one had a flat, almost square skull. it was depressing.
