That clock reminds me of my Catholic elementary school days.

Also, the wallpaper looks like it's melting off the wall.

I've seen those in other images. Larger waste? I need that. I hate these low flush toilets. And then, what is it? It's a "flushing rim service sink", floor mounted model. Looks like the 1919 era from when the place was built, and one maker at the time was Trenton Pottery. Kohler still makes them as the "Tyrrell Floor-mounted Siphon-jet Flushing Rim Service Sink". American Standard makes them as a "clinic service sink". No tank, direct supply line. Supposed to be tough, huh? I bet I can jam that sucker up!

I believe that is called a "Hopper" nursing homes and hospital facilities have then to be able to get rid of larger waste that would otherwise not fit down a regular toilet. We had them in our clinic which was not needed but the designer of the building put them in anyway.

I was so happy to see a new gallery! I just finished looking through all of the others already posted here and was bummed! What is so nice about your site compared to other urban exploration ones I've seen is the way you photograph and document everything-along with history if you have it! My urge for urban exploration gets to live vicariously through this site :)
