Great door. We replaced all the doors in our house with doors like this. For privacy in the bedrooms we handmade curtains to match the decor. When closed, it looks almost like big pictures lining the hall. Rooms that aren't bedrooms don't have curtains so, just like Mica mentioned - are bright and light. I've mentioned this before but it really does seem like they tried to think of everything when designing this building.

I would think plants in a solarium would be quite appropriate. OK, well, maybe not coming through the windows. I'll bet this was a very relaxing room when in use.

Sandy - I remodeled my kitchen to 1950's diner style with checker board black and white. Even put in a 1950s rotary wall phone. Once completed it looked cool but then everyone started giving me Coca-Cola memorabilia - towels, napkin holders, ice cream scoop...anything that could be found that said Coke. Needless to say, I no longer drink Coke, lol. Will now only find Dr. Pepper in my fridge. I'd love to see your kitchen when its completed!

Other than the peeling paint and floor, this pretty much has been standard layout for all of the hospitals in which I've had the pleasure to work. Many of them had door pulls just like this one.

Wow, very cool shot. This one really caught me off guard and made me gasp when it opened. YOU'RE THE MAN, MOTTS ! !

...forgot to add to my last comment - with this kind of view, I think I'd just about live on this bad-weather terrace.

Bad-weather terrace, what a great idea. They tried to think of everything when they designed this building.

Beautiful picture.
Beautiful terrace.

"Ohhhh, you cold out there? Have a warm blanket." Life was so full of considerate kindness back in the days - we have forgotten...or never known....

Or may be food.....naw.....
Food was presented on hot plates, on trays, with a special cover to keep warm. It works very well, indeed.

What a view! Very good picture. How did you do this?
There is the Chimney - looks like a little House with windows.
The Building is so handsome; can´t understand why is not fixed up for Beautiful living; Big light lofty rooms, lovely grounds and so close to DC. Glenn Dale is a pretty name, too.
It does NOT make ANY sense. Not at all.

Yes indeed, a new gallery. Thanks Mr. Motts

Thanks for revisiting this and taking us with you!

So nice that it isn't totally tagged up. Wonder what the asbestos content is in those floor tiles.

I love the green glow of the plant life inside the room.

Lot of paint peeling but not so much on the floor.
