Irony, when is a 2-way mirror 1 half one way and still 2-way the other way... this is SOO bisexual! Really, think this one out!

Stunning shot!

Great info - thanks!

Fabulous lighting!

Most hospitals aren't allowed to use those slide and bolt locks on seclusion rooms and time out rooms anymore.

LucieLou,

This is a common activity that is used in therapeutic encounters. You are supposed to pick something about the person that you like and want to see more of, and then share it with the person (and any others they want to see it). This is as opposed to telling people what it is you don't like about them and want to see less of, which is what they are used to hearing all the time.

BKW Ontario - this was a children's hospital specifically designed for those 18 and under.

When I used to work at a state hospital in Virginia, I went to Staunton several times. I was able to see the DeJarnette Center and the old main hospital, which I believe is being (or has been) made into apartments, similar to Danvers. It is quite a huge place, but DeJarnette was such a small building in comparison, and somewhat off to itself, I believe. At Central Virginia Training Center (CVTC) in Lynchburg (VA) they have a building on campus called the DeJarnette Building, named after the same man. The original court case involved the young woman (Carrie Buck) who lived at CVTC.

Absolutely amazing - both the subject and the shot.

Wow! This really shows how little is actually left.

Very creepy - I like this a lot.

The framing of this shot is incredible - well done!

I don't think Asbestos abatement is all that expensive when one wants to rehab and old building. The real problem is finding reputable men and women to do it. Being in the trade I know that it can be done well for a lot less than it often is.
There is a huge hotel in SF that is full of it and the choice was to not remove it. We stablised it and sealed (encapsulated) it in place.
That is an option especially if the tile mastic is the issue it doesn't even have to be removed. You can just put new flooring over it and use proper procedure for any new cuts in the floor that need to be made. As long as it is not friable and the materiel containing it is not subject to regular friction you can usually seal it in place and leave it alone safely.
