I have to ask what motts used to obtain the angle for this shot. It looks as though there's nothing supportive in the room to stand on and yet the angle looks like it was taken from high in the back looking downward towards the stage and door at stage left.

I have to agree with kaycebane on the trains comment.

Though at first glance all I could picture was the buildings being large 'habitats for rodent type pets and these tunnels would be the tunnels connecting several different rooms of said rodent habitat.

What does "continuous baths" mean?

Is the the "A" building. In the picture of the building from 1929 it doesn't show the peak over the entrance. I wonder when that was added ...

If you look at this picture long enough, it seems almost like its a model...not real.

Love your pics!

Motts is that a light near the window on the right side.

I amazed that you take very good photos of these places. Thanks again Motts.

Jeebers, what is this bizarre, morbid fascination with ice in the bath water, people? Look at your basic physiology - you can't survive more than a VERY short time (under an hour) in a bathtub full of iced water. It would kill you. Any water that is below body temperature FEELS cold, even room temperature water, so when people talked about being in "ice cold water" for long periods of time they could NOT mean it literally - it's a perceptual issue - it feels cold in comparison - you can't really be in ice water for more than a few minutes or you would die - sorry - ack! - not real life - TV - movie - fantasy - fiction - pretend . . . . . . . . . .

hey is some ahead of you in this pic.

i want to know what that magazine is under the bed

it reminds me of a part of metal gear solid when u wake up in a cell after being tortured. i wonder if theres some cool vents to crawl through to the outside that would be mysterious :P

this comment box design is so cool.
but a this is my favourite shot it provokes something in me and i like the angle.

What a great shot. I can just imagine the patients soaking in the tub filled with ice water.

Motts thanks again for another great Gallery. I love this site. Thanks Motts?
