Gah! If I knew where this sign was I'd take it. I've always wanted an old Fallout Shelter sign.

I theorize it may be a "safe room". In an Institution that needs to lock up the customers there is probably a security issue and if there is a riot the staff would need a place of safety.
Another theory is that when they bought the lock two sided dead bolts were all that was available to get the job done.
:-)

I cannot see it's purpose theres no reason anyone should be unlocking the door from the inside

kinda curious why there is a keyhole on the inside, thats different

Motts u looks Awsome and Sexy too.

I think that the slits under the doors could be where they slid trays of food under. Just a thought.

These were considered unisex, if not specifically women's urinals. I've seen them in an old theatre. That's right, women's urinals. In the hospital they probably didn't want the women hanging out, sitting out, in the john for some reason.

Awesome possum backstory, Sean! Thank you so much for sharing! Reading all the history in the comments is half the fun on Opacity!

P. - You're deeply ignorant and naive as hell. Go to the max security wing at your nearest state prison and ask the guards if "people with criminal backgrounds" for "violent and horrible crimes" ever throw feces and urine in anger. I assure you, they do, and it's not because they're mentally ill, it's because they're simmering balls of hatred who've had every other means of attack taken away from them aside from their own filthy excretions. These are people who have been locked in an isolation cell so they can't abuse/rape/kill their cellmate and are now limited to taking their anger out on the people who are forced to interact with them in order to take care of their human needs (food, hygiene, healthcare, exercise).

Not everything in the real world fits so neatly into your little "all humans are inherently good" fantasy.

These are amazing photos. So disturbing when you think of the thousands of people who must have stared at these awful turquoise prison walls. This color was so jarring, I am surprised it wasn't a more muted feel in there. It would have really actually riled up the patients there.

The golden yellow + the blue, such pleasing hues, shades and tints and all the light + shadows x-marking on the floor; it is so good.
The patients saw this, too....

Thank you Sean Barry! This really IS a wonderful site! Bless you all, and gratitude to Mr.M. for this astonishing creation. True Fun Every Day

Some are praying and some passed out.................
Fun Every Picture!

It looks so fun!

To have gold teeth would make you the hippest patient in all the asylum XD
