Wayne County poorhouse.Wouldn't you know it?That's westland we were destined to be losers.... WE HERE IN WESTLAND..WE ALLKNOW WHY WE HAVE HORRABLE LUCK. AND WHY WE HAVE NOTHING.. ITS A PSYO OPP DESIGHNED TO RUIN A GENERATION.. WOWO RIGHT IN MY HOOD... MILES AWAY...WTF

What a total waste of history

How were they producing the electricity in the electric plant building?

I live in Upstate New York. Michigan has a number of county’s, towns and villages with the same name as we do, like Romulus, Ovid, Seneca, Rochester. People that continued the western migration from New York to Michigan reused these names. Annoying.

I grew up near there I was told my dad's first wife was there for some time

Good just shit hole that was using fucked up people to make money.

These places were living hell thats why they are closed down. They allowed sick predators to do what they wanted to innocent adults and im sure children. Imagine Nazi like shit.

Thanks for uploading!

Make Asylums Great Again…

Nice

We need asylums again. There is way too many people with issues and letting them live on there own isn't working

Thank you for this interesting presentation. My dad was there when I was only 4. That would have been between about 74-76. I think he was in the new building. According to your presentation, that was only up about 5 years. We later found my dad living on Cass in Detroit in an old run down motel that was soon torn down. After that we never saw him again.

When I was a child my mother was in Eloise asylum several times due to what they used to call nervous exhaustion and hysterics. My grandmother would take me and my brother there to visit her. It was horrible, dirty and decaying. Patients were not properly cared for. The sad thing is not much has changed for the underprivileged with mental health problems

Interesting. Thank you.

Very interesting. My mom worked for a doctor at Plymouth State Home and Training School in Northville Twp. She would sometimes drive to Eloise to deliver paperwork of some sort. I was very young but remember going in the car with her. This history is fascinating.

Waittttt wait wait. I did googling, and the old log cabin selling for $2, in today's economy is equivalent to like $88. Yet average pay was like $1 an hour minimum. How does that work?

Omg! My cousins and i are in this video! I was 6 or 7, and they were a few years older

There was close to 9000 people living there at one point!

Dickerson is the name of one of the Wayne county prisons in the area too.

She’s a yacker

I got sexually assaulted by a homeless man there

i worked on the grounds crew and in the greenhouse in 75 and 76 and i loved it.most of the patiens were gone by then but there were a few in d building.

I grew up in Garden City, MI. I had a grandmother that was fixed up at Eloise.

This is soooo cool. I grew up around there and I would often ride my bike and just wonder about that place. I always wanted to sneak in but I was scared. This was in the mid eighties..thanks for the upload (super sentimental❤❤)

My mother n law was the secretary there for many years. Ann Koch

Our family had a tree planted in memory of my brother David Sailus. Around the 9 minute mark shows my parents, other family members and the dedication. Having this tree planted meant a lot to our family. Thank you to the City of Wayne and to the Wayne Historical Society for sharing this video.

Next time, add some cool effects and background music thanks

1:31:15 Chestnut St., first block west of WMHS. Paffel family lived in the third house on the right across the street. House not visible. Lada family lived on that block same side as Carpenter's.

My cousin was born in there

It’s insane that this happened

Omg…. It’s a Halloween decoration relax dude not everything is about you

'Promo sm'

Interesting how many of the asylums here in the US we’re all kind of ended at the same time frame as all of the asylums in the UK came to an abrupt end

Depressing yet very informative Tyler

The glory days of Wayne, MI. It sure has been a rapid trip downhill since then.

My family ran one of the early theaters on Jefferson, in what was then river Rouge. Amuse-u/Lancaster theater.

When are they turning it into unaffordable housing?

Also there is a cemetary across the street, i assume alot of patients r buried there

I grew up not too far from here and driving by at night was creepy bcuz the buildings were empty but they had red lights in the hallways

Do you have any photos of the train on the property, when the rail was still active? Thank you

My grandma was in there starting in around 1947. I'm not sure how many years she was there but I know in the '80s, she was in a halfway house. I have no information about her. I'm wondering if there's a way to get any records of her stay at the hospital.

You didn't mention the graveyard with the stones with numbers on them to mark the graves

The little house you mention east of SM as part of the O'Conner addition might be my GG grand parents (Cullen) house built in 1865. They were Irish immigrant who moved to Wayne from Wisconsin that year. It was torn down in the 1990s.

14:46 u can see people hanging out of the window

My late father, Dr. George M. O'Brien, who was a physician/ surgeon used to have monthly meetings at Eloise when he was connected to the Dept. of Public Health. He passed away in 1985. I recall him speaking of the place. He was very concerned about mental illness and those who were put out on the streets and ignored.

grandfather had a brother that was in there passed away in 1967 remember as a kid riding in family car once a week seeing the people walking the grounds very sad
