The light fixture certainly detracts from the beautiful mosaics.

It should be some pretty looking light fixture that goes with the patterns of the mosaic

No the buildings were not heated; they are deteriorating more and more every year as well as being vandalized.

Sort of ironic that they go to all that trouble of creating such a wonderful ceiling then they cheap out on the lighting.... must have ran out of money.

The amount of work in the tile in this area is incredible. Not often seen. I hope they repurpose this building.

I don't think these lights are original to the building, must have been added long after the incredible tile work

I hope they reuse this building, those lights are not original. They are probably from the 50's or 60's

I can only imagine the TIME it took to lay all those bricks in those intricate angles like that.

I'll bet the original light was much more attractive. And probably gas operated.

Wow, can you imagine the play of slightly flickering gaslights over the amazing tile motifs? That would have been beautiful. Much more so than the cold, sterile glare of harsh fluorescents. But, time marches ever forward...

Was this in the kitchen area, because I can imagine a communal bath for TB patients.
