Made to last, this blanket has been in constant use since my mother-in-law had it as a girl. I love the deco styling of both her name tag and the iconic utility label. I've blogged a little about it here: scrapiana.com/2010/11/04/temporary-spool/
The oddest part about this is that there isn't an utility cover nearby that matches the design seen here... let alone a white one.
I spotted this Holden FJ Utility in the suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. I managed to take a few of these pictures while the owner was going into the liquor store to get a six pack of beer.
This passageway led from the hospital complex and past the nurses dorms before ending at the steam plant. Along the way there were heavy duty doors opening onto to mechanical rooms and electrical substations. Elevator shafts were also accessed from below here.
=======================
This institution opened in the early 1950's as a state psychiatric hospital. After the state closed the facility in the early 1980's, it was taken over for use as an "annex" of sorts for a nearby hospital, a purpose it served until the mid 2000's. Most recently, a juvenile detention facility made use of one of the wings. Now after a period of vacancy, the property was sold and plans are underway for conversion into a senior care center....
