Heavy grates covered the windows in this stairwell.

Deceptively simple - the tonal range and brick - like walls give the image a very cold look. As Motts observes above, the very fact that grates cover the window, securing patients inside, of whom many may have walked these stairs as well as staff over the years is equally as deep as any of Mott's other images, only with a more surfaced look.
I like this shot. I'm not sure it would look the same in color though.
