	lewis The power could be on fur heating purposes, to keep damp out. We are keeping radiators on constant in an old apartment we are selling, to keep it dry.

	lewis Over here in England, there have not been latches on freezer/refridgerators for years. I have heard of people being accidentally suffocated in them. On commercial"walk in" freezers, there is a push bar on the inside which lets you out should you accidentally become trapped inside.

	lewis I wouldn't like to venture a guess, but I too wouldn't touch it- I have seen the pressure these things carry.

	lewis there's nothing nice about that picture, especially the fact her head is floating in mid air

Location: Malone Psychiatric Center  Gallery: Infiltration

	lewis This photograph indeed may evoke different feelings and reaction in many of of us, and I think that sometimes they might be contradicting of each other. At the same time, we can also "Agree to disagree"

	Lewis I, too would like to thank you. In these photographs, you are preserving part of history, that someday will be no-more. Christopher in England

	lewis I think that the piping is used in the cooling of the projectors- I would have thought they got quite hot in use

	lewis Extremely misplaced murals apprear here as sick and hideous.I agree.What joy could be obtained from these murals?I know I'd have a difficult time getting any.

Location: Pennhurst State School  Gallery: Forgotten

	lewis where abouts would you see this sort of decoration these days?No where.It, in my opinion just would not fit modern day facilities,where traditional recreation, to certain extents has been replaced maybe with computers and such like.I think that this one such theory may help to clarify the seemingly disturbing apprearence of such murals.

	lewis it indeed looks like a bathroom, with the outlines of what appear to urinal stalls.
