Please tell me, if I understand correctly that they are saving this building?!?!

Sleep safely? I understand that even when it was inhabited it was haunted!

Actually the third part would be it's closing in 1990, The county used it for some storage and communications for a while and completely abandoned the building around 1995. It was sold to the town for cheap in 2000 and has been the subject of a lot of political bs since. Many area student nurses trained here during their pulmonary term.

Ok, I gotta know now.... What did it DO?

YAY! No ugly, rotting, awful, disgusting drop ceiling!

It looks like an angel. :oS

There were few ways to calm agitated patients before effective psychotropic medications. Hydrotherapy was an effective means of reducing agitation. Its use stopped after the introduction of Thorazine the first effective psychotropic medication. Thorazine not only reduced agitation but hallucinations, inappropriate behavior and anxiety. It was the penicillin or wonder drug in the treatment of psychosis. I think the advent of Thorazine was the first creak in the closing of the doors to these buildings.
