That brings back some memories, this was my first hospital. My mother also worked here in the 80's and has told me lots of stories about the horrible things that went on here.

Actually this is probably just a tub. We call them "slab tubs" and they are used for regular baths. Many of the folks in developmental centers can't bend well enough to be seated in a shower chair for bathing/showering, and if you fill up a regular tub it takes a long time to fill the tub, bathe the person, drain the tub, clean it (you have to scrub and disinfect the entire surface between clients), and fill it up again for the next person, so if you have 5 or 6 people you have to bathe on your shift (and you would be lucky if you only had 5 or 6 to your living area), this is easier, faster, and more hygienic. Well, let's say it's easier for staff. I think it would be pretty chilly, personally . . .

Oh shit, get the Ghostbusters.
It's wacky indeed.

Agreed here too;you're an awesome photographer.

yuck...this picture is sheer horror.

wow good eye Cecilia, I usually don't think twice about that sort of stuff but I can see the "faces" clearly in the rust, very cool.

Are you sure this isn't a draining table? Spooky.

I know I have a vivid imagination sometimes;-),but what is it just above the ground,beneath the boarded window to the right in the picture?Looks like faces(I know it's probably rust or something)peering out :-P

Agreed - I really enjoyed these!

Wow! You've made this an "Arts & Crafts" shot! I really like it!

Damn! Ain't NOBODY can line up shots like you can!

I like it! It must have been fun to run across.

Super Gothic shot!

It could be both. Some of these institutions had to double up their space, so this is possible.

What incredible woodwork.
