Yeah the no railings really bothers me.....I'd be like so close to the walls when walking down those stairs since that would be the only way out or to get down that is.....it would be hard really to walk down them. That would not be a good fall.....ugh.....scarry....

Motts, was there any indication as to whether these stairs were at one time equipped with railings? I mean, being a children's hospital, one would assume they were at some point, but then again, you've found architectural oddities before.

Great photo, btw. Dizzying angle... you're awesome at these stair-shots.

Ah yes, I see them now. Thanks! I didn't think they'd make a precarious stairway like that without railings... but you never know sometimes!
