That really is a terrible odd place for a soap dispenser. Wouldn't the soap drip down onto peoples' heads?

Geez the glass is so thick on that thing! It's a wonder any light made it out of there!

That's a bonafida "can't climb out of this thing" window.

Kinda reminds you of the inside of dirty ductwork.........complete with soap dispenser!

Kristiara, I was thinking almost the same thing! The paint peels look like nasty leeches or something crawling up the walls <shudder>

some of these rooms were used as padded cells in years gone by, hence the deeply recessed window (it would also have had a wooden internal shutter that was locked when in use). They were phased out after the inception of psychotropic drugs in the 50's and 60's, but were still in use in the state hospitals until mid 90's

Looking back on this collection... I noticed how the smoke detector was wired. the norm in the US would have been to have run ugly conduit everywhere for these instead of taking the harder, but better route of wiring through the walls and ceilings.
