The "racked" square in the door above the knob is an old repair...
It's called a "Dutchman"

A monument to man's eternal forgetfulness. A sad, but revealing, photograph.

Great pic

the paint chips look almost like shattered glass...

It's called inventory control. It is very difficult for hospitals to keep track of what is used and on whom. When the equpiment is locked up and you have to go through a procedure to get what is needed you are more apt to remember to charge it to the patient. Where I worked they tried this, stickers that peeled off and were attached to the patient chart, and actual pieces of paper that were taped to each chargable item. Nothing works very well. Fact of life in hospitals.........some supplies will disappear

Holy Moly, Motts, you have outdone yourself with this picture!

Walkway to heaven

I wanna sit on the balcony

Thanks for another great gallery! Miss you Debbie!

This is an incredible gallery, but I think this and the picture of the steeple viewed through the window of the other are my favorites. It's a vanished way of life -- and what are we replacing it with?

wow motts! what an incredible series of "lone chair" shots. these were fabulouse.! every one of them seemed to have a personality. they are very animated and lifelike. Thank you Mr. motts as always your work amazes me!

Dang. Talk about uncomfortable. The mesh on those windows are disturbing to say the least.

Interesting. That solid door probably prevented more than just spit but shit from bieng flung as well.

Wow. Thats quite a picture. We didn't have bars on the window in the psychiatric hospital I was in. Actually we didn't have a window in our rooms. Only windows were in the dayroom and was made of double thick plexiglas.

Hmmm. It doesn't look like it but I would hope there was some padding to keep the patients from hurting themselves.
