Weird, looks like an old ballroom to me. I have to agree with Java, the "air vent" looks like where a chandelier was once hung.

I was also thinking it was a ballroom and pherhaps a lecture hall of some sort.

Based on the time period, it probably was a ballroom / hall.

..A ballroom with some modern updates. Notice the ceiling fans? They are from the late 70s-80s era. Not very old in other words.

Is this the Addams Family ballroom? Dark dismal walls with black curtains, nice touch

See, this is the part that they show patients' families on the "tour" or in the "brochure" of excellent patient care facilities....but those tiny rooms are the reality.

I also thought it looks like a ballroom. I find it interesting that a psychiatric hospital would have a ballroom, but then, why not?

Wow! I wonder if they held church services in this room...perhaps the cross gave me that idea...but, Courtney may be right...it could have been a ballroom...I saw a movie once where they brought the mentally ill patients to a ballroom dance.

At first glance, at least to me, I thought it was a gym. But then glancing at it somemore,with the curtains up on the windows,it probably was some kind of a ballroom. t looks like it has a hardwood floor
