This site is an epiphany ! Like the Greek tragedies, or Shakespeare it reveals the human condition and bares the moral soul.
Thank you.

Great work Motts.
The first thing I think of when I see the picture is the grand stair case of the Titanic.
Beautiful shot.

Mr. Motts do you remember, or did you notice any drawings on the walls of this room?

That door led to the porches in back... behind the camera is a similar alcove and to either side is the single main corridor that runs from one end of the building to the other and cuts down the middle.

I should have one or two from another trip...

Mattress sterilizers?

The bed looks wider than than a regular hospital cot. The lyrics "Sleepin' single in a double bed" come to mind.

These remind me of the equipment cages at my college field house. Is it possible these rooms were used to store the personal property of the patients?

Again, your skill with the doors in the hallways continue to amaze me Motts

I agree with anna, it looks like a place where they would lock up the tempermental bears in the zoo. It's kinda freaky to think that humans were locked in there. But as Motts put it, "If a giant 300lb dude was throwing one of those beds at me I'd appreciate those cages very much." nicely put

I LOVE THOSE OLD HEXAGONAL TILES ON THE FLOOR, I THINK THEY ARE VERY CLASSY!

That is a really amazing shot Motts. Aside from the peeling paint and such on the walls the staircase looks almost brandnew.
Hey JAVA, either your caps lock button is stuck or you are really really excited about that marble.

WOW IN THE OTHER PICS I DIDNT KNOW THAT ALL OF THAT WAS MARBLE, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS WOOD WITH PEELING PAINT, VERY EXTRAVAGANT!!!

OOOOOHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHH!

This is more lonely than the chairs.
