Looking at the baked enamel interior and the type of door hardware and door gasket I'd guess it was made in the 1950's. Albeit I'm a fridgy from Australia but back then there weren't that many hardware manufacturers. The shelves are still made that way in commercial fridges.

Fantastic photos by the way. I only wish I had access to such historic buildings here. The oldest buildings I've been through date back to the 1920's.

The hospital had nothing to do with the "displaying" of these axes... Scarlett77's comment is the most likely reason these axes were in this hospital in the first place. They were not placed to contribute to you hatred for life-saving buildings.

And the walls are growing into the floor! (esp. on the right side of the room)

Incredible!
Wonder what the room, (and plant), would look like if you went back in a few years!? I imagine the plant would be as tall as the entire window!
The blurryness of the background in this pic struck me first...
It's like you yourself are on the gurney, and dying. Your eyes are slowly closing, and everything around you is becoming blurry as you slip out of consciousness.

Ragdolledwahine that is an ICE BOX not a rigrigerator.... That refrigerator is probably from 60/70 because it does not have a big cylindrical box on top of it and the corners and sides are not rounded typical of earlier models.
