St. Elizabeths Hospital a History ST. ELIZABETHS HOSPITAL A HISTORY THOMAS OTTO U.S. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION This history was researched and written by Thomas J. Otto under contract for the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) under the auspices of the Campus Development Team in the National Capital Region of the Public Buildings Service. It fulfills one of the stipulations of a programmatic agreement executed by GSA pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 on December 9, 2008 for the development of the west campus of St. Elizabeths Hospital. St. Elizabeths Hospital is a National Historic Landmark and a D.C. Historic Landmark in southeast Washington, D.C. May 2013 United States General Services Administration, National Capital Region Washington, DC This publication is a United States Government Work under 17 USC 105, the Copyright Act of 1976. Acknowledgements I wish to thank the many people who helped make this history of St. Elizabeths possible. First and foremost, Shapour Ebadi, Frank Palermo, Bonnie Echoles, and Harry Debes ensured that the project had the resources it needed to get off the ground and stuck with it until it was completed. Beth Savage and Nancy Witherell provided crucial support and guidance along the way. Nancy was particularly helpful throughout the research and writing process with thoughtful feedback and encouragement to keep it moving in the right direction. Tim Dennée in the D.C. Historic Preservation Office went above and beyond with thorough comments that were always spot on. Frances McMillen was a helpful comrade-in-arms who offered many useful tips and perhaps one of the most important citations in the text. The helpful feedback of Drs. Suryabala Kanhouwa and Jogues Prandoni was informed not only by their medical expertise and their decades of professional experience at St. Elizabeths, but also by their avid enthusiasm for the history of the hospital. Carter Wormeley and Bill Willis are equally enthusiastic about the St. Elizabeths story and made helpful comments on my drafts, as did George Siekkinen. Danielle Breaux and Melissa Cohen, my colleagues and friends on the St. Elizabeths historic preservation team at GSA have provided much support over the years and much gratitude goes to them and to Teresa Preston who provided invaluable editing assistance. Thanks are also due to Velora Jernigan- Pedrick, librarian at St. Elizabeths Hospital, as well as to Deborah Slaton, Tim Penich, Mike Ford, Kenneth Itle, Stephen Kelley, Alan Dreyfuss, Judith Robinson, Tim Kerr, and Patricia O’Donnell. Finally, I would like to thank James S. Kane for having the forethought to initiate projects to preserve primary source material and document historic resources. The results of his efforts continue to be, almost ten years later, indispensible to GSA’s stewardship of the history of St. Elizabeths.

  • Built by Geniuses to Be Run by the Inmates
    Bui lt by Geni us es to be Run by the Inmates Introduction This page ( http://www.historicasylums.org/ ) is an attempt to catalog and pre s e nt Ame ri c a's hi s tori c ps yc hi atri c hos pi tals ( s tate hospitals; insane asylums) founded mostly in the latter half of the 19th century. The site gives special emphasis on the facilities built on the "Kirkbride plan", but it is not necessarily limited to the Kirkbride hospitals. The Kirkbride plan and the resulting bui ldi ngs represented great ambiti on on the part of both ps ychi atri c caregi vers and archi tects . Known Ki rkbri de hos pi tals are i ndi cated by a cli ckable Ki rkbri de label Type: Kirkride in the listings. Asylums outside of this scope, such as ones constructed in the 20th century are also included. To some, the asylums of the 19th century represent a darker period in mental health care, with involuntary incarcerati on, barbaric and ineffective treatments, and abuse of patients. However, there is also a legacy of progressive institutional treatment left by Dorothea Dix, Thomas Story Kirkbride, John Galt, and others represented by these buildings and sites. The sites that remain stand in monument to the successes and failures of these reforms and their efforts. The treatments and philosophies seem rather outdated and quant today, but at the time were a considered to be great improvement in the treatment of people perceived in need of psychiatric care. A large proportion of these historic institutions are no longe r ps yc hi atri c hos pi tals .

    Illinois Historic American Buildings Survey Photo by Michael A. Dixon, AIA taken before commencement of demolition CENTER BUILDING NORTHERN ILLINOIS HOSPITAL AND ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE IL HABS NO. K-1993-1 Michael A. Dixon, AIA Dixon Associates, AIA/Architects December, 1993 Location: The Center Building was razed in the spring and summer of 1993. It was located on the grounds of the Elgin Mental Health Center at 750 South State Street in Elgin, Illinois, which is at the junction of State Routes 20 and 31. Originally the site was known as the Northern Illinois Hospital and Asylum for the Insane, established in Elgin in 1869 by an act fo the Illinois legislature. Present Owner: The State of Illinois Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities is the current name of the state agency responsible for the facility now called the Elgin Mental Health Center. Originally called the Illinois Northern Hospital for the Insane when it was chartered on April 16, 1869, for many years the campus was called the Elgin State Hospital. In 1975 the name was changed to Elgin Mental Health Center. Present Use: The Elgin Mental Health Center, operated by the Illinois Department fo Mental Health and Development Disabilities, serves severely and acutely mentally ill citizens from Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, DuPage and portions of northwest suburban Cook County. Also, citizens needing medium security forensic psychiatric treatment are served at the Elgin facility. The overall mission of the facility is to treat and to restore to optimal mental and physical health, and when possible, to vocational and economic productivity, adults (age 18 and over) whose mental status and/or behavioral problems are too serious for community treatment or for acceptance for placement into long term care community facilities of other community living arrangements and who require inpatient psychiatric services.

    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin.

  • Photography and the Magic Lantern in a Nineteenth-Century Asylum
    Picture Me Sane: Photography and the Magic Lantern in a Nineteenth-Century Asylum Emily Godbey Michel Foucault cast a broad intellectual shadow over the histories of photography and psychiatry when he advanced his vision of institutional control. This model has profoundly influenced subsequent scholarship, as he described the power and domination exhibited by schools, prisons, hospitals, and asylums. Foucault contends that these social institutions are attempts to bring order by enforcing conformity. Perhaps the most vivid and influential example of Foucault' s startling work is his discussion of Jeremy Bentham's panopticon, a prison designed as a circular honeycomb of cells, with large exterior windows and a central observation core. The guards can always see the prisoners, yet the prisoners can never see the guards or even know when they are being observed. The result, Foucault posits, is that the prisoners internalize the surveillance and begin policing themselves. Vision, knowledge, and power are interrelated in Foucault's description of the panoptic and disciplining gaze. As the concept of vision is—quite literally—at the core of the panopticon, it is not a surprise that scholarship proceeding from Foucault's landmark writings has found the intersection of photography and institutions to be a productive field for research. There are many instances and investigations of institutional photo­ graphic surveillance (mug shots, medical photos, identification cards, and ethno­ graphic pictures of non-Western peoples) in the nineteenth century. At the nexus of work combining photography and mental illness, patients usually become subjects of the doctor's penetrating gaze. These patients assume their places in photography's numbered and ordered filing cabinets, while the "machinery [of 0026-3079/2000/4101-031$2.50/0 American Studies, 41:1 (Spring 2000): 31-69 31 32 Emily Godbey Figure 1: Auditorium at PHI.

    A PIECE OF MIND: THE FATE OF THE STATE-FUNDED ASYLUM OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY by BRYAN LEE HARDMAN (Under the Direction of JOHN C. WATERS) ABSTRACT This thesis tries to give examples of state-funded asylums of the nineteenth century. By showing the various architectural styles which represent styles of that period, the creation of an organization is needed to preserve and educate the public of the importance of these buildings and other medical facilities within the context of mental health treatments of that time.
