This door once stood in the Administration Building of the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital. It was an inside facing door painted various colours such as green, pink and brown during its working life. These paint colours are estimated to be used in the mid twentieth century. At that time, many hospitals were embracing colour theory principles and using colour in psychological treatments to create more calming and peaceful environments (Pantalony, 2009). Natural colours, such as greens and blues were often used in psychiatric hospitals to this effect (Bosch et al. 2012). The Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital was a part of this trend. The door, and its many paint colours, serves as one example of colour theory in practice. We can see from the use of colour throughout the hospital how important colour theory was to the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital.

The Administration Building served as a hub for doctors, nurses and hospital staff (Heritage Report, 1986). The colours that surrounded them would have also been informed by hospital colour theory and influenced how they did their work.

Item that Tara had pulled out of G building when it was being renovated.
