Wow! I really like this photo! I feel like you captured the spirit of this place and it stays with you... It's as if someone had been sitting in that chair for years waiting for a release and it finally came to them...sheding light upon the darkness they once felt...wow...

It reminds me of a ward that they called the bullpen. An attendant would sit in this kind of a chair with a baseball bat and would take charge. This was a story that I was told. I know that they actually had a ward that was called a bullpen, but I don't really know about the baseball bat.

It IS the chair that many sat upon waiting....for that door to be just as it is. They are now dust on the floor.

This chair reminds me of the one my grandmother used to sit in to knit all the time. :) Of course, it was in her house....
Great shot, I love the door too!
