Shifting

Seems like old wheelchairs do get around quite a lot!

And the tiles will hang on tight to the walls forever. They still shine!

Ceramic tile seems to last forever. I bet they would survive an atomic blast with it's shine intact.

Yep Larry. Three things would survive - ceramic tiles, cockroaches and Cher :)

lol toot
like the window reflection on the tiles
wheelchair tracks creep me out
 

Were there any footprints in the room?

This photo reminds me of the description of the 'wheelers' in Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest".

"After breakfast the aides would take the wheelers into the tub room and hose them off..."

When Motts leaves the chair roams again.

Hmm, no footprints!

Ah, the lone chair shot. Wheel tracks are creepy. As bobo says, LOL Toot :)

The inescapable green tile! Love it! (LOL Toot!)

Was this a bathroom?

This type and color of tile appears in lots of old hospital pics.
The first hospital I worked in had it on the walls in the ER. The ER was located in a wing that was added in the 60's. It was featured in the
older OR also. Must have been judged to be easy to clean and disinfect. The OR and the ER had drains in the floor so you could
actually hose the walls down. Everything ran to the middle of the room. Sure was handy when you had a patient that was covered with a substance that needed to be flushed off of the skin.

SO many things to comment on this one...

First those tiles...what the heck? It seems like everything else is decaying and these tiles look like they just came out of a commercial for The Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner! Toot...that comment made me laugh seriously. My kids came in to see what I am laughing at. :D

Secondly...Wheel tracks and NO FOOTPRINTS...now THAT is spooky! Would tracks survive for 40+ years without being covered in dust that is still hanging around and probably all the other stuff floating around in this place?

Thirdly...LONE WHEELCHAIR SHOT. It is looking for its friends and got lost...poor wheelchair!!!

OK I am done now. :D

We recently retiled our bathroom. The walls were covered in that pastel pink that was popular in the 50's. Our toilet and tub were also pink. With every tile that hit the floor one out of every 20 would break. I was amazed at how strong they were after all these years. Turns out people collect them and will pay upwards of about $10.00 tile. Insane!

motts did u clean the tile before this shot, lol wow its shiny compared to how rundown everything else is nice shot

Wow Mr. Clean would be proud of this room!

This is the lone chair's long lost cousin :-)

Tough stuff. Just hose them bloody splatters and guts right off. This must be where the thousands of "bad" vital organs were removed with the 45% survival rate. How did that one work out?

Not even half surviving...wow. Some odds...

I place $50 on NOT LIVING PAST THE OPERATION please...

I would rather a zombie get me...

nick...are you the same Nick who I had a fight with about a year ago over a green tile? lol....guess what? heeheehee!!!
