That is really an interesting bit of designing to angle the stairs to start out one way and within such a short space change 90 degrees. I am assuming the hallway it leads to was not very wide, and to have the steps go directly up may have caused a traffic jam of some sort. But yes, it seems it would make it rather difficult to get a piece of furniture up or down those steps.

Very, very nice. I like the colors and the way you framed the shot. I like the details of the older ivy along the window frame. I agree that this would be a very nice wallpaper.

Wicked shot - I really like it! And the black-and-white treatment really makes the shot.

Puts me in mind of an abandoned antebellum mansion in Georgia or Louisiana.

This is an intriguing shot, both because of the wonderful treatment you gave it plus the subject matter itself. It makes me think about the details and imagination needed to design and build something so massive and so utilitarian that was intended to house so many people.

It was really low to the ground, on a door.

absalutly fantastic sooo beautiful

Every time I come back to this website I fall in love all over again - and then get melancholy when it's the end of a gallery.

i totaly agree, i wish it wernt so, i know many people who wouls love the opertunity to clean these lovely places up, from one photographer to another, ALL your work is simply stunning

If it's cold, alcoholic and has bubbles in it, I'm happy. Who wants Doritos? :)

I'm pretty sure it's an old film reel. They used to torture the patients by cramming them all into this small room to watch horrible movies... so serial.

BRAVO!!! Thanks so much, Motts!

Interesting the way, on the sides of the tubs, there's a section angled inwards. Was that maybe for the caretakers of the sick kids, when they had to kneel down to assist the child in the bathtub? This would spare them banging their knees against the straight side of the tub.

I'm gonna roll with some kind of laundry facility, especially if it was in close proximity to the mangle in the last pic. Possibly some large industrial-size washers used to be located at the end of those kooky pipes.

Hell yeah, Haylee. I'm dying for wallpaper of this one.
