Norway, I think some old vinyl and linoleum tile was made of a mixture of materials including asbestos until the 1980s. http://www.inspectaped.../Age_of_Flooring.htm

This was originally a psychiatric hospital for people who were thought to have been "incurably insane" until 1890, when they began admitting regular (acute) psychiatric patients.

Outstanding work once again Mr. Motts.

LOL Mama! We'll need a ladder to get to that soap dispenser!!! The joke lives on!

I once again have to commend Larry. VERY well said.

Motts, if I could write as well as Larry I would say the exact same thing. Thank you for another fabulous gallery and thank you for sharing your work with us. Um, I am also very happy that you didn't wind up IN that prison, LOL! :-D

@Mama, too funny. I love these colors too!

Love this pic, Motts. It's another long hallway and lonely (yet happy) chair shot! Nice!

I'm sorry Mama. :(

Matt, hilarious!

LOL A D Nilsen and Canada!

At least the chairs are all together. They need to go find their lonely friends scattered about the hospital.

I know those are just window panes and not bars but I have to admit I feel trapped looking at this. I do like the brick building outside though.

I love the wood coming through the ceiling, love the lonely chair, love the hallway. Love this pic.

That looks like fur on the ground...or maybe it's just my laptop screen!

LOL, A D Nilsen!

Oooooo, that room's not aging well! Glad you know that person, it would suck if that hd been security, LOL!

Once again, I second Larry D. Lynne? Where are you? Anyone?

Great shot though. :)
