Built to treat the most severe cases of mental illness, this building is comprised of eight units
connected together and forming a square. Located in the center is an enclosed courtyard.
Approximately 1,250 patients were housed within the 24 wards. There were single rooms,
doubles rooms, and dormitory style accomodations for 12-25 patients. The basement was
used for storage and occupational therapy.
