Is that a painting on the safe(center) or just weathering and rust? or am i completely wrong about both?

KayD27, yes it looks like a painting on the safe's inner doors, although it's tough to make out what it is of. Here's a close-up.

Before they were shut down there we probablly bodies of the patients that "exceeded" their expectations and experiments.

In other words, patients whom they performed experiments on that actually took some effect they'd stash the body in there for keeps, and take out when they were shut down, a road to fame in the world of science.

Those outer doors look too big to close -- or it it an optical illusion? They just look too big to me!!

Teleports ? The man is insane having his atoms scattered all over the universe like that. That's not right!

Janice, this safe is "triple secure". There are the inner doors, the middle door, and the then the outer door. The door to the left stacks on top of the inner doors and then the door on the right neatly closes over it all. The "shelf" on the inside of the outer door probably held some "petty cash" or other things needed for everyday use. This eliminated having to open the whole darn thing to get 5 bucks out.

Antique safes often are handpainted with nature scenes on the outer door or on the inside.

Really now...if they stored bodies in that safe, they would have had to miniaturize them first, with that invention from "Honey, I Shrank the Kids." If the results of the experimentation were really such a road to scientific fame, we would all know about it by now. So I have to conclude that this insistence on the reality of non-existent experiments is an example of what "they" call a fixed delusion.

Still I wonder what was so important to need a safe. Perhaps the records of employees that went crazy from the job? Maybe they were using the patient for secret biochemical experiments? It could be that the head person was hiding money from his wife...lol

I think most hospitals have safes. The one that I worked in had one. You never knew what an ER patient might have with them. Only way to be sure it was protected was the hospital safe.
I would hazard a guess that at the time this hospital operated, most private patient's paid in cash. So the safe was needed between bank runs. Also wonder if the staff was paid in cash?

I love it so much, you know I look at some of the things in these pics and say to myself those things are so old you could get a pretty penny for them. I know that there is patrol at most places but some one should try to roll that out of there ( I moticed it had wheels) because even though it is a bit of a mess I know that someone would pay good cash for that...

It also may have been to lock up patients belongings that were of value if they mistakingly came in with something worth anything...
