I wonder if the bottom shelf at least wasn't meant as a seat of sorts, they look awfully wide to just be storage. I won't hazard a guess as to the other two's purposes. I do see the shower head spot at the top, did they have giants there perhaps?

Hyams is a Jewish surname, though many lived in Britain as well.

As a long time RN and a patient, I also am amazed that all of these records were just abandoned. There is no excuse for leaving this in an empty building. They should have been moved or if not financially possible they should have been destroyed.

Feather, records are very controlled in this day and age. But I am afraid that in times past old records were not as important as they are now. If you think about the past where all of the records were paper, it became a nightmare to provide enough space to store them and a viable method to index them so they could be searched. It is much easier now. The hospital that I worked at for 36 years had storage problems that caused the "old" xrays to be stored in a semi trailer on the back of the property. And that hospital was built in 1977. Now even xrays are available on computer.

This is a wonderful picture. So many different things to look at. Also cranked a few of these beds, but in the early 70's.

Well according to my nursing instructors in the 70's that green was considered (by people that study such things) to have a calming effect on patients. It went along with a yucky pinky beige that was also considered a calming color.

The lighting in this shot is gorgeous!

The dead watching over the imprisoned.

I don't think I'll take you up on that offer. ;-)

Something to do to pass the time away.

So oppressive looking.

Another tacky looking sign. It probably was *designed* by one of the inmates.

Perhaps no one had to stay in this room for any real length of time.

Yes thank you Tony C. - it sure has a desolated tilting lean
maybe the antique dealers will have it tag along....with the projector.....
"What the H__l" style......

Yes - Tony C. we hope! That is the wish.....and
If the `brats´ steal, break and torch.....a spell will be put on them, so they will never be able to enjoy a movie ever again in their whole lives.............
