@Claudia, you're more correct than you may realize. This is an early 1960s piece that was influenced by the Space Race during the Cold War. Lots of "modern" furniture, light fixtures, architecture, clothing, and even cars were influenced by the USSR and US Space Programs.

Beautiful stair railing. Another detail with French/Art Deco architecture.

Lovely French doors and arch. This would be worth a fortune at a home salvage yard.

The last couple of galleries or so, I've noticed some remarkable light fixtures. It's easy to envision this space as a dining hall or perhaps a meeting room with that small stage and alcove. Nevertheless, if those walls could talk, what tales they could tell.

Excellent composition and use of light. The yellow tile is actually rather nice.

@Icewox, "Amityville Horror" perhaps?

Reminds me of a shot in a 70's/80's horror movie but I can't remember which one.

Maybe those were dressing rooms. A lot of those are low-walled here in the States.

if you back up and look at this pic it looks like there is a box floating in center of the picture anyone see it look at the curtain on open window............

If it was not for the pink dumpster, I would expect a Kubelwagen or a nice BMW with a machine gun side car to come wheeling around the corner, through the arch, and slide to a halt outside the door.

Looks like there was tile on it at one time.

I think that is what we call a "stress test" in the USA, most of the time performed on a treadmill. Used to test physical fitness and fitness for duty for some jobs such as police and firefighters.

never did understand paintball

That would make a killer studio apartment!

Looks like a high school cafeteria to me. All that's missing is the lunch lady behind a counter pushing the tuna melt special!
