Bedrooms seemed to line the center hallway, with the day rooms located at either end of the ward.

I like the orange light reflections. Those antique doorknobs are calling my name. They appear to be in great condition.

The orange light looks like bits of flame. Beautiful lighting. Great capture.

I agree, TootUncommon. It does look fiery.

Nice shade of green on what's left of the paint.

It seems that there were no windows put into the bedroom doors? Odd that they would put a cupboard (front left) up off the floor but at a level where you could hit your head on it.

I think that's a box for the fire hose (no sprinklers).

Fire is exactly what i thought to Toot! & a fire in there is not to far-fetched given the crispy, peeling look of the paint.

I agree with Ferdy and the rest. I thought it was little licks of flame too when I first glanced at it. How weird that is!

I wonder if I would hit my head on that box...I am pretty short lol!

The arterial blood of the inner workings of the structure giving it an ethereal glow.

HI BKW!!! I am around, just enjoying another Motts' Gallery. :)

OK that peeling paint on that front door looks like a giant RAT sitting up on its hindquarters...Eechh. I think I saw this building in my dream the other night Mr. Motts...it WAS on fire though. Weird. I have Motts on the brain lol!
