Either they had a runner up the stairs or they painted it to look like they did. Either way I love staircases!

The X usually means to leave something or take it whichever is desided beforehand.

They used to paint/stain around a carpet or runner to save money. In some houses, they even used to put cheaper wood in the hardwood floor where the rug went.

Sometimes when hospitals are evacuated, and particularly before demolition or renovation, crews go through to mark areas they are making sure are empty, spray-painting an x or something similar when they've checked. Some laws require this final check, due to squatters and -ahem- wandering photographers;). Dunno if that's what it is, but it's a possibility, and maybe they changed their minds about tearing up this area.

That looks like a relatively new security camera up there. Or a very ugly light fixture?
