This room is NOT what it seems...notice, the drain from the sink runs a good 6 feet until it goes into the wall. The small steam radiator is too small to haet a room that size that has water in it. I think this room was originaly a service room, linen storage or something.

Probably an outside door. Raised threshold to keep the rain out and extra height to allow for equipment delivery, ( beds, tubs and other "stuff" ).

These colors are classic mental health colors. The jail that I worked at used these colors until 2010. Pinks were thought to be calming, Greens were for those with hard-core mental issues and Blues were thought to help those with mental retardation. FYI, Reds and Yellows, were thought to be very agitating. This was all de-bunked in the 1990's.

Look at the thickness of the outside walls, this place was built to last AND to withstand the elements.

Well, my friends, let a true European (me <---) translate for you: In the left lower corner we've got an "oh yeeeh!" and an "I 'love' it". above there is an "MC". on the far corner wall we have an "TNT!! eb?!" (very conversational!), right next to an "tPZ", which could also be interpreted as an "tRZ". I can't make out what the boarded-up window says, except the "NO" on the far left. the pink masterpiece to the right is an "bR" or an "loR", with it's great informational value unfortunately interrupted by the end of the photo. Oh, what a shame! I hope you all are so deeply moved as I am by the great meaning of those literary stunning works of art. Oh, and the photo's nice, too, Motts.^^

The thing on the floor seems to be a single window sash. Maybe the transom window of the big window we can see here?

The arched window opens to the inside.... whereelse should it open to? To the outside doesn't make any sense to me, all the ones I know (and there are many, many many in Europe. Very popular design between 1840 and 1914 @ liza) open to the inside to let no rain in.

The setup with an elevator within a staircase is common indeed in Europe, because many of the old hotels used to be built without one. Later, when elevators became a common feature in hotels, they needed a place to install one: The staircases had often a space in the middle where one could look up to the ceiling of the highest floor, which is really a neat effect, but this was an actually unused place with access to every single floor. The perfect place for an elevator.

This is sweet

Never wanted this beautiful gallery to end....arghhhh....Thank you, Mr. Motts, it is wonderful, fanststic shots; love your work and dedication. may you always be well is my daily wish.

How beautiful, what a nice picture; food for imagination.
Double polished oak doors, with arched windows, too, and a finely crafted espagnolette: must have looked really good!
Like the round window in the hall, and the light at the end. Don´t mind the pink; it´s sweet. The pictures you take always give me so much to ponder about. Best wishes and well done.

I'm not trying to push some sort of Artist or solicit or anything but seriously, whenever I look on this website I'm always playing this song. To me, it matches the images perfectly. Just... sad... ambient.
