Looks very out of place. The wood and the tiles don't match at all.
I was thinking the same thing, Dylan.
OMG I think that actually really might be a soap dispenser.
WOW! Paper towels still in the dispenser. Was anything left in the dishwasher?
Uptown! Soap, towels, and dishwasher, cool.
It has a Brady Bunch feel to it.
Absolutely LOVE the colors here, This would make a fantastic wallpaper Motts, the contrasting mood and the interesting objects of everything is fantastic.
They must have refurbished the original room into a break room
TMS RN, that's what I was thinking too. Looks too out of place to be something the patients would have access to.
This could have been an old operating room, gone into disuse when the Terrence building was constructed circa 1950.
OMG reminds me of the kitchen we had in my kindergarten class
I like it
I think it's magnificent. I love the colors, And lol to the very old soap dispenser joke. :)
The towel thing looks like it has instructions in it.
I think that those paper towels look quite brown. Must be from time.
Mr. Mott your pictures are simply ORGASMIC!!!!
I agree, Motts. The tile color and anachronistic kitchen fixtures makes me believe it may have been some sort of medical area originally, like a surgical suite or laboratory. More like surgery, though - that godawful color reminds me of Phillip's Milk of Magnesia and operating rooms.
Is that a dishwasher under the counter?
@ amber:
I think the paper towels didn't turn brown by time; they are made out of recycled paper and have always been brown.
Ahhh - love this picture; it´s food for ample imagination and meditation and sets mind whirling with speculations and thoughts, and The Best Part is that some of the facts & a truth we will never know. Like the paper towels: old or recycled?
There's something about the surgical green colour they always seem to use in these asylums/hospitals/sanitariums. I suppose it's the association of this colour with medical scenarios, but I just can't bring myself to like this colour.
