I think there were privacy curtains in front too, I hope...

My guess is, that they turned this room into an impormtue shower/bathroom. They left the stairs there for one of two reasons I can think of.
1) It offered some kind stablity for a fairly mobile pacient to cling to while waiting to get into the shower. It also might have provided some kind of PT. Warm water loosens up muscles and having the stairs there they might have walked them a few times to help keep limber.
2) Since this is a make shift bathroom they where too cheap to remove the stairs. It costs money to rip things out . Why spend money to rip something out the pacients don't care if it stays or goes?

Now that makes sense! Although it is hard to make out....I brightened up my monitor all they way to get a better look. The house does look like a tree, though, with 3 trunks....

I agree!!! Although, we probably won't hear from phantom again....albeit for the better. Much to my dismay, though, I feel he will not stop. This type of "Urban explorer" ( in quotes, as I do not really consider him this) explores for trophies before exploring for what real urban explorer's search for. As Ack put it, to "Shoot, not <don't> loot"...
He is hooked on "trophies"....sad...

It looks positively *looming,* like it's just about to jump some poor unwitting soul.

Does anyone want one? I also have a chunk of the collapsed north stairwell in W-7.

It's a gingerbread house, made of candy, with a lollipop-tree next to it.

Twug, these curtains look to be out of reach, while the walls are at perfect kick hight for smacktard vandals.

Shoot don't loot...

First of all....Lynne, are you still working on your small billion-word post? I just came across this set, and couldn't help but ask...
Secondly, that "thing" on the wall...Is that an archway painted on the left? And what of that other circle next to it? It sort of looks like a bloodshot eye. Odd.... Looking at the bottom of the painting, it looks like grass....<of the non-smokable kind> Could this be some sort off TREE??

I swear you must pull of with a truck full of lonely chairs =P

Your panoramas are brilliant

It's not so much the ball pit itself that gives me the willies, but the placement of it. Alone, in a cold room, this is very much a lonely chair shot. I get the sinking idea that children where placed in the ball pit and left alone in the name of "play time" because they wouldn't be able to hurt themselves. The idea that it could be used as a tool of neglect instead of what it was indented for makes me sad =(

I'm so glad socitiy now just lables our kids with ADD and keep them at home, over medicated.

Your a brave man standing under that
