Anyone ever been to the Catacombs in Paris? It's pretty unreal the way they stacked the bones like cordwood, and made little patterns with the skulls.

This lonely chair just needs some new upholstery

Kellogg's? Battle Creek? Who are the doctors there? Snap, Crackle & Pop?

LOOKS LIKE URINALS.

I like the color. And the lines.

And they made great cereal, too.

The violent ward was generally an entire wing or a separate section of a facility. Most of the other sections had seclusion rooms as well; just not as many of them. If someone became overly agitated, one of the options was to take them to a seclusion room so they would have a chance to calm themselves down away from the stimulation of the other folks and also for the protection of the other folks and/or staff. These rooms were more common before the days of psychotropic medications. Your options back then if someone was getting agitated were pretty much limited to straightjackets, pack, tubs, or seclusion rooms.

'Tis true, 'tis true! The Kellogg Sanitarium in Battle Creek Michigan was one of the more expensive places to go for R & R.

I "collect" old institutions, and there are/were several interesting ones in South Dakota - the "State Training School and Juvenile Prison" in Plankinton, the "Yankton State Hospital for the Insane" in Yankton, the "Northern Hospital for the Feeble-Minded" in Redfield, and the "Hiawatha Insane Asylum for Indians" in Canton. Don't know if any are still in operation.

A place viewing so much death now protrudes new life.

At Ted's Montana grill, here in Atlanta, you can eat bison.

Yeah, I'm definitely seeing Opeth. Lol

Are seclusion rooms the same thing as rooms in a violent ward?

It looks like someone tried to use the wall as toillet paper?
Well whoever it was clearly belonged there.
