What?!?! No soap dispenser?!?!?!
Don't ya see it right above the mirror?
Yeah, geez, Tony even I KNOW that's a soap dispenser. Forget your glasses, or what?
LoL! Maybe there's not enough light in there...humm...we could always turn on the light...HEY, where IS the light?!?!? Confuddled!
ROFL! there's enough natural light in their. look they even have a back-up dispenser hanging from the roof....these guys were prepared >:)
Goodness! Yes they were!

:0)
But if this is for someone in a wheelchair, how would they reach above the mirror for soap? That's just cruel...
They'll have to buy a Deluxe Gopher--as seen on TV.
ROFLMBO! :0)
If the bathroom was for someone in a wheelchair. the toilet would be high.. wheelchair level, so one could transfer to it easly. I know. I'm in a chair.. Cool photography, Motts..
That's the case in many places these days, but it is only a recent development (i.e., the last 20 years) that the ADA has been around to require facilities to be wheelchair accessible.
I think that the box next to the mirror is the paper towel dispenser and that the soap went into that dish beside the sink that is barely visible in the back.

Are those giant locks on the window?
Yes most windows on this building had a cage over them with two big locks.
This reminds me of One flew ovrt the coocoos nest
We passed a bathroom with stalls, the stalls were very narrow. One of my friends and I stood in it, if the person was overweight, it'd be kind of hard to use the bathroom. :-X
I'm sure standard stall widths have increased along with standard chair sizes as we Americans have...um...increased in girth.

A cafe in my hometown dates to the 1920s and still has the original wooden swivel-chair seating at the counter. The seats are tiny compared to what we're used to today.
Wonderful how there is still toilet paper there!
