Great craftsmanship on the banister - it's in amazingly good shape. Of course, I am assuming this is still the Administration Building that was in better repair than the rest of the place, as few areas that housed patients ever had luxuries such as this.

It was a dark mahogany color, possibly made out of it.

IT makes sense that the admin building is in better shape as it was probaly the last building to be vacated

I LOVE the light at the top of the staircase, very spectral and yet a kind of, guardian angel feel to it

This stairway could use graffiti angels walking up to Satan. It just doesn't look right without them.
