I know whose gonna get nightmares tonight .. ;)

Stuff always seemed to get moved around a lot at Norwich. Yeah I would imagine it was a day room and the bed was placed there after it closed.

It reminds me of that one bed at Danvers, I think someone dragged it up to the top floor of the administration building...

Correct Mike; the curtain was manufactured by H.W. Johns-Mansville Co., a major manufacturer of fireproof asbestos products. This curtain was most likely made between 1901 and 1926 judging by the company name.

I'm not sure if it would be very dangerous unless it was being cut or torn open; many asbestos products that aren't very friable wouldn't be much of a hazard if left alone.

It seems much more, wow...

Tacky is what the 70s are all about.

Ah, the 70s. I'm a proud survivor of that era. It looks like this room saw it's share of polyester clothes, platform shoes, bell bottoms, and big hair. Barry White or Rod Stewart is playing on the 8-track (oh baby, baby). The smell of "Brute" or "High Karate" cologne mixed with the smell of a fat joint filled with Mexican headache weed permeates the air. Out in the parking lot is an AMC Pacer or Ford Granada. "Tonight's the night.... "

Nature dismantles and reclaims everything eventually.

No erica...I think you are right, it is in a different gallery...look at the trees...they look the same as the picture I saved as my desktop here at work. There was a bedside table in that shot. Residents usually didn't have rooms, they had wards, so this could have been part of a resident's ward.

Look just above the staircase: doesn't that dark spot look like a human head?

I remember using those dial phones. The frustrating thing was getting to the last number and your finger would slip out of the dial forcing you to start all over again. Ah, those were the days.

love this angle

wow

Just wait. Those colors will be back in style eventually. I think it's a cool looking bathroom.

Be careful around those heavy front curtains in a theatre. Back in the day some of those contained a lot of asbestos to help keep a backstage fire from sweeping through the auditorium. Not sure when that stopped in relation to the age of some of these locations, but just one more problem area to be aware of...

I guess it doesn't matter because I know this wouldn't have been a residents room.
