That just creeps me out...did you see any heads lying around? What sick person take heads off of statues and dummies??

Were those stained glass? Strange to have stained glass in a non-church building.

I would imagine the stained glass comes from what was a chapel located in the hospital complex, but it's possible that it was used in other areas. Some old psychiatric hospitals in the U.S. used touches of stained glass in the wards:

There are a lot of dummies out there without heads. Let me rephrase that. :) Some dummies that were made for clothes display never had heads and this may be the case. Could be a seamstresses dummy. As for the stained glass, that's a shame that it is just sitting there rotting away. I'm sure there are many people, myself included, that would be glad to pay for that to be able to have it in our homes.

The headless figure seems to be in excellent shape. Too bad he's stuck there in an empty room. The stained glass is a lovely find.

I want those stained glass windows! I wonder how much they would be worth? That statue is very creepy too. What is it holding in its hand?

May had been a former Soviet leader. Not everyone wanted their statuary around after the fall. And yeah, those leaded glass sashes were real nice until some goofball smashed them! Bunch of 'em too. Serious duh.
