I would be far too tempted to stick my hand out and wave at them... But then, that's why I'm sitting here looking at these beautiful images, and not taking them. (Though I do know of a couple of very interesting looking old asylums in NC...)

Of course this room could be something totally inocent. Like where they folded, stored, and dispensed clean towels.

Cubes are good. Solid glass blocks were actually manufactured in the early 1900- 70s. Got a wide range of resources!
I think glass blocks are a swell way of insolating houses/rooms. Hey, that is where they came from, right?
Any info. on where glass blocks originated would be appreciated. THANKS

Good photograph and I love this neat safe.

Love the wooden doors.

Looks so cool.

Anyone have any idea what the bottle is?

That's an interesting blotch on the ceiling. Almost looks deliberate.

Definitely a sitz bath, part of hydrotherapy.

right...lobotomies needed no specially designated areas . They weren't unusually messy. Neat as a pin, they were, actually.

No, they didn't perform lobotomies like that.

could the hole thing be for performing lobotomies?

Yes I see those varmit teeth in the left window...
Tho I was looking at the whole uppers and lowers...they are nashing or noshing on the cross
8-

the English language is far too simple to express how I feel about this shot.

want this one on my bathroom wall - or living room for that matter....love the shoddy side of life and that 1970's institution look ( looks great after the lobotomy and the electric shock therapy!)
