That's exactly it! It's even got that comment about the knife that I remembered. Thanks for that link, Peter. It was driving me nuts.

Um.. I'm having some problems with the site.. it's coming up "This site does not allow hotlinking" instead of pictures.. and everytime i go to a new pic, i get a yes or no box for security..

Hope you like your York chillers. Depending on what size they are...I probably designed them. I am a collector of old "York" items, gages and photos so I found this site very ineteresting.

Indeed, this is definitely the same hospital . I called it Hospital X on my site ( http://www.forbidden-p...ploration-hospital-X ) , while Opacity calls it 'Northam Manor'

It looks like theres syringe ends in the tube behind it. . .

oh my gosh. i absolutely love this photo, its so beautiful!!! just.... perfect!

Well, i guess thats the last time i eat fast food.......

The lights are a shamefull addition to a beautiful room, I'm thinking a library....

Motts is that a window or a mirror on the wall.

Another awesome set Motts! X was my fav, safe journeys!

"This has a 'jail cell' look to it. This one may have been an isolation unit. "

Or simply a leftover bed that was stored in an empty room when the facility was being shut down.

Interesting...were there any other pictures of this type? If not, it does seem odd without any explanation or artist's signature.

Reminds me of the murals in San Francisco's Coit Tower that depict, among other things, the history of migrant farm workers in the area.

Remember that bit from "Sophie's Choice" where the landlady explained that she'd painted all her rooms a salmon pink color because she got a great discount on the surplus Army paint? I wonder if that had any basis in reality. I know that pink was used in hospitals because it was once thought to be a soothing color, and back around the turn of the 20th century pink was considered a boy's color (because shades of red are strong and powerful) whereas blue was dainty and meant for girls. Don't know when or why that got switched around. Anyway, does anyone know if hospital paint colors may have been chosen because the state could get a big discount on certain colors that weren't generally popular?
