Such a great looking roof!

That would suck! That banister is sweet! Oh and those tiles on the first floor lobby (im guessing) are so beautiful!

Oh so stunning! Its so elegant, but could do without the grafitti.

I see.....

AHA! Maybe this is why the ceiling is missing in your "Foliage" room!

Can you imagine if this whole picture was a pattern on a rug? Just Gorgeous!

Motts~ With all it's little interesting details to its architecture, this is one of the most beautiful places you've photographed so far.
Thanks for showing us that once upon a time, people loved to build structures that would be so beautiful to the eyes.

Oh wow! I'm with you, Janice. ; )
Line the walls here with some beautiful floor to ceiling mahogany bookcases and a deep comfy chair that you can curl up in with a great book!

I wonder how many people tried to ride that banister to its very end.

Such beautiful architecture!

You're right Jude!
It does look like it's from a fairytale!

And so, the kingdom slept for 100 years and waited for the spell to be broken...

The design and all the many different little details to it are simply breath taking.
The structure is just so beautiful on its own.
But Motts, you ALWAYS have a way to take a beautiful subject and take it to that next step up! : )

hmmmn.. in modern hospitals you quite often find that out of hours in the A&E the toilets are locked except for the ones closest to the waiting area. I once asked and got a whole load of reasons from "to give the junkies fewer places to hide" to "so the nightstaff have fewer places to keep an eye one" and things like that.

so maybe this toilet was locked at night or our of hours for whatever reason, and the huge deadbolt was put on as a visual indicator that the room's out of use [to prevent somone waiting patiently for hours for the non-existant occupant to finish!]

yep, looks like an old evaporating unit. We use something vaugely similar in the lab i work at.

the coils heat up the flask and the liquid boils. you have one entry to insert the liquid, and a smaller entry that you can use to let out the steam. possibly the arms make it so tha tyou can rotate the flask/heating coils so they're not concentrating on just one part of the bottle.

maybe to purify liquids - we use them to boil down a tincture into a syrup. you can be amazingly accurate with how thick you make the mixture.

Yes! I will be at the clean up 100% sure. Not sure of the inside tasks yet, but they will be fun!

I too used to swim in here at night it was a great place to chill out for the nurses John 1972-1974

Very intimidating.
