Wonderful composition. I'm a photographer, and I wish I can have the chance to get into one of the places, even just for the feel of being in somewhere that contained so many lives and stories.

Motts - that's the link I was going to provide. ;)

It looks like the Neil Robertson was used by the USN as sailors are depicted in the illustrations.....

What the hell would something like that be used for in a psych hospital? My gut feeling is that it was used in some kind of "therapy".......*shudders*

Motts, I found something called the Neil Robertson Stretcher during a search during a search, and the similarity is quite apparent. It looks like the patient was strapped to the Neil Robertson and then the round "O"-ring lifted the patient in a vertical manner. Hope it helps; maybe somebody else could provide more insight???

I don't want to link because I don't know the etiquette here quite yet.

The Bay Downtown "Premier" salon still has what appears to be the same kiind of dryer. They don't use the "dryyer:" they just stick you under it!

Love the soap dish, we live in an older part of town (nice house) and we have the old bear claw bathtub with the EXACT soap dish hanging on it. I Love the dish and always wondered how old it was, now I guess I can sort of imagine the time period. Your photos to say the least are FANATISIC. Please keep them coming! :)
