The other side of the mirror, with lots of dirty finger marks.

Dirty finger marks from fingers dirty with what? Your last picture has gotten me paranoid that it is more poop, haha.

Those mirrors alone give me the creeps. What are all the holes for - five are the ones from the previous shot, but there are an additional five on the other wall.

I wonder if the door in the background is a reflection or are we looking thru a window?

Perhaps the five brown blobs on the other wall are glue from holding up a poster, and the sixth blob came off with the poster.

Cool shot, I like the reflection of the door in the window. (If it is indeed a reflection...)

What the heck went on here?

I have an idea for the holes.
Perhaps these were used to run wires through that hooked up to the patient who was in that room? LIie detector, or electric shock maybe?

This room is bland and boring with no color and its kind of creepy at the same time

Shortarsejo, electric shock had to be administered in the same room as the patient - the person undergoing treatment needed to be held down and monitored throughout the procedure. I think that any device hooked up to the patient would defeat the purpose of the two-way mirror... I was thinking about audio cables so the monitor room could listen in, but five holes seems a bit excessive.

You just don't see two way mirrors used anymore. Most have been replaced with sophisticated video/audio recording devices thus denying the artist his/her canvas.

Mr. Motts, this actually may have been used for a training room. We used to have a room like this in the facility I worked at. Students and a teacher or supervisor would be in the other room and wiring for EEG, EKG, or other systems was synced and run into the office behind so that a second set of eyes could monitor the patient while treatment was being done. Sometimes the students would be the ones rendering the treatment depending on how advanced they were and the system inside the office was used to make sure everything was going ok.

A great deduction indeed, thanks evilavatar!
