Yes, must have been real good-looking back in the days of splendor, these windows and the whole room..

Ohh goodness.!!!! What were they THINKING???
Well, at least it is still saved while the ones responsible are trying to make up their minds what to do about it. Or not.
Or have forgotten completely. Or pretend to have forgotten.
We human beings ! Not clever at all, we are.
Thank you for the Wallpaper. Picture i like!

Heavy traffic in this corridor for sure - all those tiny, and may be not tiny paws scuttling along. It gives the picture a lot of life. Thank you! Love it!

What a neat little white Lamp stuck up there in the ceiling like a tiny pearl button.

Low door-knobs. It is pretty how the bricks are seen now that the paint fell away. Like!

It is such a pretty room; and interesting and intriguing, too.
Shape and size is just so nice - the window high and HUGE, and the door strange with that low door-knob. High ceiling. Wonder if there were another exit??? Love it.
Lovely photo, Mr.M. Everything about it.

I don't think the bars were used for structural support, as there were cell blocks built in the same fashion without them. But yeah, the structural integrity of a building can definitely be compromised by scrapping the supports (the Packard Plant in Detroit is a prime example).

The smell was a little funky, nothing too horrendous. Seemed like the residents went to the bathroom outside, so at least that wasn't contributing. Really had to watch your step out there though.

Yeah I was noticing those square panels - I'm guessing they were for electrical/mechanical access to the cell doors, which were operated by a big old lever: http://www.opacity.us/image1195_levers.htm
