Maybe.
Indeed, precious, LucieLou; wish could touch it - and we have TWO pics. of this intricately patterned gate: YAY! Thanks Mr. M. What a find!
Easily fixed with "red lead?" mixed with linseed-oil. And then painted.

The sharps container is interesting but what catches my eye is the tongs or scissors in the white bucket in the background.

Ohh..oh..thanks Tony C. - yeah, probably....supports...
But that sign: ELECTRICAL POWER CONTROLLED FROM WAREHOUSE SIDE and with a RED Arrow, too cool to be true; to me, unbelievable it is still there.
Not sure if it is large enough, but on a house, that type of platform would be called a "widow's walk"...and even had the hardware been shiny & new, you would NEVER catch ME up there, LOL!
Firebrick lining for whatever the oven/furnace thingie is? ahhh, I got nuthin! LOL!
This has always been one of my favorite places to explore, even after the fires, them tearing all but the Kirkbride down, etc. There is a feeling there that cannot be replecated and should be respected. If anyone wants to see more of this location, you can watch the movie "Session 9". It was filmed there and gives you a brief history into its troubled past, and you will love the inside shots of the asylum.
