You're right. Those red slashes on those doors sure catch your eye in a hurry. They had to signify something important.

This is my new wallpaper. I thought I would never find a replacement for the piano at Norwich.

Silent Hill: Homecoming, anyone?

would also bet the gas chamber. "everyone just come on into the shower to get clean!"

polio, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, smallpox, and scarlet fever were prominant back then, whole wards in hospitals were built just for the treatment of these diseases, perhaps that was the thought process here.....building a room to contain someone if they had come down with something that couldnt be treated right away until a doctor came along, to help protect the other students?

omg this is amazing

woah creepy!

This is absolutely beautiful. <3

So... What is this? Kitchen or Morgue?

Rooms in hospitals use a double door system for patients that are contagious. The outer door opens into a small area that is just big enough to keep the needed supplies. The supplies are like the ones you see on surgeons. The front is closed , it has ties in the back.
There are also gloves, masks, even caps to cover your hair. All equipment taken into this area stays there until the patient leaves and then is destroyed. There are also laundry bags to put the clothing in when you come out. And a sink for washing. This almost could be an early attempt to do this. It is against protocol to have both doors open at once. These special rooms, with increased air exchanges, are specially built.

Fabulous colors!

This looks like no place for children, even in its day

It seems like a prison room, so secluded. This hospital is creepy even in its day it'd look creepy

The highest staircase looks really flimsy

Hm. Soap dispenser anybody?
