Terrific picture!

An elevator annunciator is a device that displays an elevator's position at any time, usually installed for fire fighting purposes.

The juxtaposition of red and blue here makes a very interesting shot!

smallpox now exists (allegedly) in two jars, one in russia, one in the us.

I agree with MaDMaN

thats kindof a cool looking chair... prolly stinks though

Their little souls got up out of the chair and walked away from this place - if only in spirit. Very moving image.

how the heck do things like this fall in to disrepair like this?... this building should be restored would it be expensive hell yeah but in the end you would have a sweet arse building that has some interesting history behind it albeit weird.

...to be consumed by the looming darkness. Excellent image.

This facility seems to have some of the tiniest rooms as compared with other isolation rooms as seen in your shots of other buildings.

It appears as though some creature clawed it's way across the lower walls of this hallway... Very interesting image.

I read the Newsday article on these murals linked on the other page. To me the style is reminiscent of WPA style which was popular in the 1930s and 40s. The Newsday article contains a suggestion they were painted before 1955, so that would fit.

Even more disturbing are the wilting paper "flowers" on the bulliten board to the right.

It is saddening, but I hope they didn't die in the morgue!

This is seriously illegal for the operators of this hospital not to have transferred or destroyed the records when the place closed down. In an abandoned building it's also probably a fire hazard...
