Okay can someone explain what the soap dispenses are all about? It seems to be a running theme :)

Ooh,maybe it leads to Narnia!

They were used to prevent the glass windows from being smashed. These kinds of grates were used until heavy duty mesh screens and thick plastics were developed.

A UNIDADE COMPRESSORA ESTARIA ACIMA DAS GAVETAS?

what is the fence on the windows for?

this place must be haunted!

In looking at these photos, it occurs to me that red might not be the best color choice for a psychiatric hospital...

I think, ever since the original case of mistaken soap dispenser identity, soap dispensers as photographic subjects have been actively avoided. Just a thought...

I used to work there in the 1980's. The new England Patriots practice field was behind the main building. Toward the end I was one of only a couple of people working in the building before it closed. Real creepy turning out the lights at the end of the day!

A long and lonely hallway

awesome!

did u take it? i wouldve.

I think most hospitals have safes. The one that I worked in had one. You never knew what an ER patient might have with them. Only way to be sure it was protected was the hospital safe.
I would hazard a guess that at the time this hospital operated, most private patient's paid in cash. So the safe was needed between bank runs. Also wonder if the staff was paid in cash?
