The chair for a reject... now that I think of the name of the picture, it seems so sad and lonely.

he's got a fellow chair in the next room, although, it looks like that chair in the next room has no seat part. no seat=no company.

Hmm.. my first thought was that some kid (after all it's a school..) would have put it there to climb on it and see secrets happening in the room behind the window on the left side...

My god, this place really had some great color for you to work with. You're so great, Motts.

It might have been once an open porch or they use the window for observation.

It's as though the chair is waiting quietly for someone to sit on it. I love the feeling I get when I look at this picture!

This is the 'Chair of Dread".

The window behind the seated man or woman leads to a hollow, empty darkness.

The window in front of the seated man or woman promises a land of sun-light and gardens.

The curse of the "Chair of Dread" is that once the poor soul sits down that very same person can never leave the "Hallway of Purgatory"

My guess is that the window in the wall was used for observation. Given my prior knowledge of the school, the lonely little chair is sitting in the middle of a corridor that connected to large dormitory rooms where the young male residents of the school would sleep with their beds lined up in rows.

Fascinating picture. Very lonely, really. The doors open but someone would have to sit there alone.
