possibly long-term patient caricatures? or just a mural of healthy people?

reminds me of a kindergarten art project... self portraits or drawings that you do of yourself and your family for parents' night.

wow this looks like edgewood

The end of an era! What a shame.

I know that having had 4 little ones, if they were going to allow strangers to watch I would certianly want them to have at least a little of the discomfort I was feeling.

But my mothers cousin, twice removed on my fathers side, used to work on these back in the '10s, and when I showed him this photo he said its definately a doohickey, but perhaps he didn't see the thingee. Perhaps they used doohickeys when a thing-a-majig wasn't available, due to funding.

Yes - Lynne:
Sad, But true. I had an Aunt who worked in a Mental Institute
(early 60's) and even with "modern treatment techniques"
it was a heart wrenching experience even at the best of times...

the caption states that the building is still in use.

absolutely gigantic. i have to guess that this is not the front side of the building though.

"it's time for his treatment ... don't you think so Dr. Vannacutt?"...

holy crap that place is huge. for some reason 5 stories seems to be the defining line betwen "normal" and huge. it completely obscures the horizon.

people talk smack about international style architecture, but i love it. that said it is certainly meant to be viewed from afar.

Why do these older Dentists Examiniation rooms remind one
of a Torture Chamber ?

Yes-sande: Makes one wonder what migh tbe waiting at the
end of the corridor. Perhaps a long forgotten Patient - thought to be "deceased" ???

It does seem to have the outline of someone's back.

Very strange. The Examination Light seems to be in excellent condition - almost new. Makes one wonder if this place is abandoned.

Hey Wonderer:
I agree. Definitely strange circumstances (patient deaths).
i wonder what really did happen.
