Ring

One of the staircases in the round Fogarty building; the windows were located behind the camera in these wedge shaped rooms. In the center was an elevator shaft.

it's amazing how cheap this place was, we've seen wooden banisters in Europe that held up better than this stuff!

The scary, strangely inviting double doors sort remind me of 'Room 666'

There is a public housing facility in Rockford ILL that has a similar round design. If you wander downtown New York one of the old hospitals was designed with all round rooms too. I the early 1900's ish it was believed that the round rooms prevented disease by limiting the places that germs could settle, they made a come back again in the 50-70's in some areas, but they always make for odd layouts.
