I worked in a wool factory (insert your tacky jokes here) and I took care of their computer system.

They had a safe like this and it was amazing that it was all done up in brass and was all carved and ornate. There were so many drawer that held original documents when the factory opened in 1901.

They are turning the factory into luxury condos for morons who have too much money to blow.

Would love to see that safe one more time before its gone

The reason for the colors may be because they really didn't know that there was a relatinship between color and behaviors. Like Now blue is not allowed on psych wards because it has been found to cause depression so the use other colors. When you sign into the hospital it is writen in the addmmitting paper work from when I was admmitted for sleep clinic if for your safety of the safety of the staff we have the righ to use restraints. and that was for sleep study.

I live in Amhearst now but i used to live on Grant Street Literally right across the street from the hospital. This was actually considered one of the more humane hospitals. My Great-Uncle went to the alcohol treatment centers in the front. It was a very nice facility. I can agree with others that when i first saw it when i was about 6 years old i was seriously freaked out. At night whent eh lights show only on the towers it looks like Dracula's Castle or something. One of the scariest looking buildings ever.
