nvusofmotts,
This probably won't answer your question but in the case of this picture (I'm assuming that this was taken inside the room) the door was hung so that the hinges were on the outside and the patient couldn't take the door off.

I'll bet the door isn't as narrow as it looks because of the height of the door plus the transom window.

I always find it interesting when a building has been around for years(ans is still in use) and modifications or additons have been added. It looks like you could peel back layers and get to the original structure. does this sentence make any sense to anyone?

I wonder why some buildings from the same era crumble while others stay virtually intact after being abandoned for years.
