Makes me think of the way-station for Blaine the Mono in Stephen King's Dark Tower series.

This has GOT to be paint over tile...otherwise, how is this possible?

This looks almost like what would be left of someone who took an unplanned trip through a wood-chipper <8-O Creepy feel to this one, though I don't think it was intended.

Not sure why, but these kinds of sinks (especially in rows) always give me the creeps. The legs look "stuck-on" and "extra" and "in the way", and just coldly clinical. I know, I know, they ARE in an INTSTITUTION, but they always seem so "institutional" when used in non-commercial settings.Whenever I see a picture of a house with a sink like this, I'm creeped-out by the non-homey, "industrial" feel to it. I always want to scream "go down to Home Depot and buy a sink that's meant for a HOUSE!!!!!!" OK, small concern in life, but I don't want any part of my house to look like it belongs in a hospital.

Oh, hey, just a tiny spackle job and both floor and roof should be good as new :-). Should be able to finish in an hour or so.....

Wow. Can't imagine what it was like to have to be so careful like that.

I'm not claustrophobic, but that entrance does get my neck hairs up a little, too...

There surely are some sick people on this planet. Sheesh.

Is that a PERSON on all fours and covered in brown......cloth?....on the upper right? WEIRD!!!!

This one would fit well with the "writing on the wall" ones from the other recent galleries. Kinda expect there to be someone trapped in a dry well in the next room with a poodle named Precious and some lotion in a basket..... Creepy

Reminds me of hooded eyelids. I love how so many things weren't just build on the 90 degree square back then. Great curves! :-)

Hmmm. Coffee, Coke, AND a coctktail all sound good :-). I'll add my hot tea to the drink list, and sit back with everyone else with the new galleries (raises glass/cup of each to Motts). Thanks for the new pictures, Motts. I agree with everyone else that the new style looks nice. Got some great shots on here. Thanks for all the travel and work it takes to do this, in order to share the "feel" of these places with others. One of these days I won't be so "nvus", because I'll go myself :-).

Ahhh, memories of hours-long college exams.... Looks familiar. Like the B&W for this one.

(Rolling Stones...) "I see a red door and I want to paint it black..."... What an intese color for this kind of place.

Having been looking at these for maybe almost 3 years now (?), I am still continually amazed at the DETAIL that went into these places. It is a crying shame that nothing is built this way anymore :-(. We've become a pre-fab and plain stucco/siding world, folks...sad.

OK, this one is my new dream house...Where do I sign?

Wow. I'd LOVE to have this as my back porch (along with everyone else.... :-))

This one feels pleasantly "balanced" to me. Not symetrical, bu balanced. Nice combo of colors, patches of light, curves and straight lines.

Could be wrong, but i think these are called "hip vaults".

Just needs some pews and some stained glass.

Baker-Miller Pink. Yeeecchhhh!!!. It looks like that thing would suddenly open big wide eyes and start walking toward you..(thump...thump...thump...). Actually, there are two dark-ish spots toward the top that kind of LOOK like eyes...or is it only me who sees that ?
