The infamous Exit light that remains switched on: http://photobucket.com...amp;current=exit.jpg

How strange, the whole facade is gone.

Here is what it looked like in 1990

This picture makes me so sad, but then again I'm still mourning the loss of the SkyWay at Disneyland!

There is something about this picture. It draws me in as if the building was still in use today, although the hallway is clearly in a ruined state.

Perhaps it is the natural light coming in from all the windows on the right? I don't know but I love the photo.

Agreed, Kaylia.

No, these particular showers are just standard communal showers, like in junior high and high schools. Frankly, they give more privacy than our shower room afforded in junior high - it was just a large communal room with shower heads hooked up to the walls and no individual stalls.
I think I remember reading or being told that for institutions the delousing liquid was put in a pail or basin and then you doused yourself or were doused with it. The cost associated with constructing delousing showers would not have been part of an institution's budget. Actually, I am not familiar with them being used anywhere but in Germany, but I am very likely wrong. Anyone else know?

I see the cat, but there's some writting under the head that I can't make out. Looks like some old-timey advertising. Any ideas?

Why is the coffee maker still there?

Have you ever drank hospital coffee? It looks like mud, pours like molasses and tastes like motor oil.

I wouldn't want that coffee maker either!!! (LOL)

All it needs is a couple squirts of 'industrial strength Mr. Clean'...

Spray, spray, swish, swish, rub, rub.

Good as new!!! (LOL)

I have seen the shower room at some of the concentration camps in Europe and they look nothing like this .. there were no controls inside the shower's in any of the concentration camps if yo want to state that then so be it ..

I like looking at the peeling paint. It reveals several layers of different colours

Lynne,
could the purpouse of these showers been for delousing patients?
