It's like you're expecting an evil looking mental patient, smiling like the joker, to come creeping around the door with a love me jacket on..

Great shot Motts!

love the faded sign. motts you're a photographer i inspire to be! its the decrepid places that have the most character, they just reek in history and a wandering mind can imagine some of the wonders and horrors the inhabitants of such places have been subjected to.

i gotta get some sliding doors like that

the predasessor to the sliding door. these types of doors were probably easier to maintain. imagin opening a normal hinge door that many times? they wear out pretty fast. plus take into account current prison facility doors and how they too slide closed rather than swinging open.

The likely reason for the doors of this type is that at the time technology for doors expecting high use were limited to those found on barns. So someone's comment about horse stable doors are quite correct. The only thing I would be concerned about would be the lack of obvious attachment of the bottom of the door to anything...one bright patient and out they go through the flap-like door
