    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.

My hope is that this topic will be a starting point to further preserve and educate those willing to understand the asylum building movement of the nineteenth century.

Christians and Jews alike proclaim the birth of the modern institution to have taken place with the life of Christ and to be the work of their respective hands. One needs but to read pre-christian history to find the work of the hospital was carried on in many ways previous to the Christian Era. True enough the conception in those early times was crude but the actual existence or such institutions can haa:ily be doubted. To support these beliefs let us first go back to 4000 B.C. whence there existed the Temples or Satun1. These temples in their ear- liest form are recorded as medical sch,~ols. It is true that these build- ings did not carry on all the functions of our modern medical center; to be exact they probably only carried on the teaching of the medical profession. However, we must remember that today the education of the medical student by the hospital is considered one of its four impor- tant functions. In 1100 B.C.

An Abstract of A Room for History: Professionalizing the Archives Room at Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hospital to Create the Toledo State Hospital Museum by Emily Ruckel Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in History The University of Toledo December 2014 An assortment of historical artifacts and documents currently reside at the Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hospital (NOPH). NOPH is an operating state psychiatric hospital located on the site of the original Toledo Asylum for the Insane, later named the Toledo State Hospital (TSH). There is potential for this collection to be transformed from a room of interesting objects into a professionally operating museum. The location of the museum, on the historic grounds of the TSH, provides an opportunity to create a unique sense of place to connect NOPH residents, staff, and the greater Toledo community to the often hidden histories of the Toledo State Hospital, mental illness, and institutionalization.

  • 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.

These two images portray everyday life in the hospital from the patients’ perspective. A sensitive and skilled artist, Reed evokes the atmosphere and activities of the institution. His sketchy, transparent style is reminiscent of Toulouse-Lautrec. Glenside was originally the Bristol Lunatic Asylum, which had opened in 1861 to take patients from the lunatic wards of St Peter’s Hospital. By 1910 it was enlarged to accommodate the increasing numbers of patients being admitted.
