Why did 19th Century Asylum Architecture in America far exceed necessity? Examples from every state

  • Today we will look at over 280 photographs of Insane Asylum Architecture that was prevalent in America in the 19th century. Why did these need to exist? What mysteries do these supremely advanced structures hold, and could those who were disenfranchised by the American Dream of the 19th century have easily ended up in one of these asylums?
    We will discuss the massive population which resided in these asylums, and how this not only influenced the growing workforce during the Industrial Revolution, but also led to the uptick in orphans in the country. These photographs vary in quality, as many are sourced from museums and private collection postcards. The impact of the architecture is profound, and many of these buildings were the largest in their respective communities. Is the current narrative trustable when it comes to the Asylums of 19th century America? Let’s take a deep dive!

      There was a huge backlash against the Mask Mandates back in 1918, they called themselves The Anti-Mask League of San Francisco. I started one up here in the far Northcoast of CA via FB at the beginning of the Pandemic in April 2020, and stood in front of my Courthouse in Eureka with a huge sign with an artistic rendition that it was an enormous red flag event made up using the Chinese WuTang Laboratory showing the Petri Dish and all. Wish you would do a rehash of the 1918 Reset Hoax that laid the foundation for the ensuing and contrived 1929 Crash, and shortly after the ten year long Great Depression leading right up to WWII! Many people lost their homes and businesses to the banks, just like happened during this Pandemic and Shut Down of the World. Calling those who voice their opposition to these mask mandates/ innoculations crazy or "Conspiracy Theorists" as Bi-Polar sidsophrenics. I even saw a program today on PBS stating a man who voiced his opposition to the govt mandates stemmed from him getting Covid and that it had affected his brain with lesions making him ultra paranoid.

    I spent a lot of time studying Tartaria. When Tartaria was under siege, they moved the tartary citizens by trains. One theory I’ve studied is that the Tartary citizens could not mentally cope with the despair of losing their lifestyle. They were far more advanced spiritually and technologically, so much so that they did not cope well once Tartaria was destroyed. Tartaria was in Russia, indigenous people are most likely from Tartaria. They would house “crazy” people, they forced them to have babies and abuses. It’s always been about mixing races. Looking further, I found most Americans have Indian & or negro in their blood. These insane asylums housed perfectly healthy, sane individuals whom the government purposefully worked to destroy.

Things were treated with decorum all across the board. Plus we had Europe as an example of how to construct. We don't see that now because most of the European inspiration has been bombed out by communists in the 1940's.

      So it's improbable that this Soldiers Home was built on the outskirts meanwhile building massive, ornate, marble and granite edifices in what is now known as "downtown" Milwaukee.
      There's no way it was constructed in such a short time frame while building nunerous cathedrals, and courthouses at the same time by DONKEYS INCORPORATED.

    This was a fascinating look into an important part of America in past, other countries had these institutions to a lesser extent. Ezra Pound, the great poet and great man, was imprisoned in St. Elizabeth Insane Asylum as a political prisoner, a place which is now appropriately where the "Homeland Security" monstrosity is being built, said to become larger than the Pentagon eventually (it's already huge). I was forced into a psychiatric rehab facility after being setup for an arrest, and forced to take drugs or be said to a very unpleasant prison, which I told them they could send me to after taking them one time each. Remember how the Kennedy family famously put one of the pretty and promiscuous daughters in an insane asylum so she wouldn't "embarrass" the family? Rich people often put family members into a psychiatric asylum to "manage" them. I noticed the grape vines in one of the pictures, I imagine the inmates helped pick and process the grapes? I find these asylums deeply troubling, and know how the Soviet Union (USSR) used psychiatric prisons to imprison "counter-revolutionary" people, in other words - people who dared defy them. Older people with money are often targeted, people who have no family or lawyers to protect themselves, then their money is confiscated as "payment" for their incarceration. I can imagine much worse. The famous guitar player "Peter Greene" (RIP) in the UK made the horrible mistake of taking electric shock "therapy" after he was given bad drugs (LSD?) and was referred to an insane asylum - he never recovered. Psychiatric "medicine" is diabolically evil and cunning, a very dangerous part of the matrix control mechanism. I've got to keep my wits about me, and get out of the city now, things are getting too crazy, and the hellstorm soon to come.....?
    (this may be too long for a comment, copied it from a "Psyciatric News")
    *SNIP*
    The 20th century contains dramatic changes in the roles played by psychiatric hospitals. From 1900 to 1955, the peak year-end census in state and county hospitals, public psychiatric hospitals were provided minimal resources to meet the needs of huge patient populations. Subsequently, as these hospitals were progressively eviscerated, the hospitals and those who worked there were vilified, perhaps as a way to assuage the guilt of what happened to their former residents. The asylums of earlier days became popularly known as the snake pits of the 1940s and 1950s and abandoned shells in our lifetimes. How did this happen?
    In numerous public institutions, especially in the 1950s, the sleeping arrangements for patients with mental illness or mental retardation lacked any semblance of privacy or dignity. The above photo is from the June 1961 issue of APA’s journal Mental Hospitals, now Psychiatric Services.
    In 1955, 50 percent of all hospital beds in the United States were psychiatric beds, a fact made infamous by Mike Gorman in his book, Every Other Bed. The rise in census did not occur because “nobody ever got discharged from a state hospital” between 1900 and 1955, but rather because public hospitals admitted more patients than they discharged for many years. For example, in Fiscal Year 1925 Worcester State Hospital (WSH) started with a census of 2,523 patients (almost exactly 50 percent of each sex), admitted 643 patients, discharged 427 patients, and ended the year with 2,739 patients. Over a decade, following this pattern, a hospital’s census could increase by 2,000 patients.
    The ever-increasing population of public psychiatric hospitals from 1900 to 1955 was largely due to these facilities’ becoming the destination for those with syphilis and for the elderly. The change from an agrarian to an industrial society meant the large multigenerational family was dissolving. This change left no one to take care of elderly family members, who, unfortunately, then became the responsibility of the state. For example, there were 183 deaths at WSH in Fiscal Year 1925; thus, 43 percent of the discharges were through death. One might say this was indicative of fairly poor medical care, but 47 percent of those who had died were aged 65 years and older (males 66 percent, females 34 percent). The principal diagnoses among those who had died were, in descending order, senility (33 percent), dementia praecox (14 percent), and syphilis (14 percent). Of the 18 patients who died from alcoholism, 75 percent were aged 65 years and older. Individuals were sent to the state hospital in the last stages of life: 16 percent were at WSH less than one month, and 13 percent one to three months; thus, 29 percent died within three months of admission.
    Public hospitals became overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of patients. In the 1950s, there were only 26 U.S. cities whose population exceeded the aggregate population of public psychiatric institutions. The two largest hospitals each had a census that exceeded 16,000 patients. Never able to keep up with the needs of their patients, the hospitals went from awful to appalling when their workforce-from the farmer to the doctor-was pulled away to meet the manpower demands of World War II. The population at large learned of the horrors of their public psychiatric hospitals, tragedies long hidden away, through exposés such as The Snake Pit, Mary Jane Ward’s fictionalized account of her hospitalization at Rockland State Hospital (book, 1946; movie 1948); author Albert Q. Maisel’s article in Life magazine (1946) accompanied by some of the most painful pictures the American public had ever seen from Pennsylvania’s Byberry and Ohio’s Cleveland state hospitals; and The Shame of the States (1948), New York Post reporter Albert Deutsch’s opus based on research from 1944 to 1947.
    Perhaps the most dramatic shift in the use of psychiatric hospitals, and the most misunderstood, is “deinstitutionalization.” First, deinstitutionalization was not a thought-out policy shift, not a movement, and not even labeled until considerably after the relocation of psychiatric patients from hospitals to settings outside of hospitals had begun. The depopulation of America’s public hospitals occurred due to a confluence of factors including exposés and reports by conscientious objectors working in these hospitals in lieu of combat in World War II, the introduction of chlorpromazine (1954), a new breed of activist attorneys, and the renaissance of the disability rights movement.
    On October 31, 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed what would turn out to be his last major bill, the Community Mental Health Centers Act. While Kennedy was extolled for this legislation, the bill turned out to be not much more than a hiccup, and Kennedy actually had little interest in it.
    None of these factors, however, was as important as the passage of Medicaid. States realized that through Medicaid they could shift significant percentages of their expenditures for people with serious mental illness to the federal government by moving them out of large institutions and into facilities of 16 or fewer beds due to payment limitations imposed by the Institution for Mental Disease (IMD) exclusion. The states had been impatiently waiting for federal participation in funding the care of people with serious mental illness since 1854, when President Franklin Pierce vetoed a bill that would have made the federal government responsible for those who were poor and had a mental illness. The slope charting the rate of depopulation of the public hospitals became steeper after the passage of Medicaid. The cost-shifting race was on.
    Whether deinstitutionalization has ever occurred remains a matter of debate. While the number of current public hospital psychiatric beds represents about 3 percent of the 1955 peak, people with serious mental illness are found in many locations providing 24-hour care, including nursing homes, jails, prisons, general hospital psychiatric units, private psychiatric hospitals, contracted intermediate and long-term care psychiatric facilities, community residences (including some with locked doors and some where a person who leaves is shadowed by staff), crisis beds (often locked), and respite beds. Some who live “free” in the community are under the supervision of mental health courts or experience Assertive Community Treatment teams as unduly interfering in their lives or feel intensive case managers run their lives. Counted among those who may be totally unfettered by the mental health system are shelter residents and the homeless. This has led the critics of deinstitutionalization to instead label it “transinstitutionalization.”
    Over the past 60 years, many with serious mental illness have led and are leading self-directed, highly productive, meaningful, and satisfying lives. Many are not. The sad part of the history of public psychiatric hospitals over the past 118 years is that very few in government really cared how they could best be used. Of greater importance has been how much will any service for a person with serious mental illness cost and how can we get someone else to pay for it.

      There probably wasn't even people in a lot of them. Their are probably so many asylums because there were so many buildings and they had to designate the building as something to justify its assistance. Calling it a mental asylum justifies its existance and gives someone claim to it at the same.time calling it a mental asylum also keeps people from poking around because there was no reason for the average person to go to one. It would of taken to many people working to house, feed and clothes all these people. Their would of needed to be established farms to feed these people and the workers if they had actually been filled with people and there weren't trucks to transport food or cars for staff to go back and.forth to work. Eventually there were people in them but I don't think there were in the beginning. More likely used the name.to justify there existance and lay a claim to them.

    That is probably what these structures where before the addition of `Insane´- communal facilities built in resonance with human needs of aesthetics, not for an elite but all members of the community.
    Changing their meaning from protection and safety to the taboo theme of mental illness was a (regrettable) masterstroke of reframing.

    Just getting started on the video, but I think everyone knows by now that aside from the real patient thing, most who were committed to these structures were the people who were asking too many questions about the structures themselves. Knowing that the gigantic cities they saw were impossible for the day. Shut up or you'll end up in the poor farm, that was an actual phrase used by friends to a friend. Portland Oregon had one right by the Multnomah county jail. Ha, Mc'minnimans bought it and turned it into a winery / pub / hotel, Cindy and I spent a night there once in the late 90s. The rooms still have the huge steel doors with a little peekaboo window. Creepy chit man. Supposedly haunted too. Ha ! No ghost bothered us that night, 😂.

    I stayed at new Hope NJ in ‘05 shortly before it was demolished & its campus was huge. Our building was the only in operation at the time, but it was a whole town with houses & shops- supposedly for the workers who lived there. They even mentioned the tunnels connecting all the buildings for “inclement weather.” I don’t get these “tunnels “ I’ve never seen a tunnel constructed in my life- no photos or evidence of our tunnel building skills have I witnessed. Less than 100yrs later- like we just don’t do it anymore either? But it was common practice in the 1800s??

I don’t know exactly what year he was born but this would’ve been the probably early 1900s that he was institutionalized. He was chasing someone in the family with an ax and they committed him. I know they went to visit him. This was in West Virginia. He used to bite people so they pulled out all of his teeth. He used to cry and beg to come home. I’m just curious as you about these places and our real history. There’s an actual Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh North Carolina. That’s closed now. There were lots of hearings about what to do with that property. Somehow these places live on. Thank you for posting these things and using such beautiful music. I hope one day we will get our answers. And I hope they don’t haunt us into needing one of these places.

But there is no mention of build date or any other history. Knowing that a lot of these buildings had their own railroad lines, it stands that maybe this was an "insane asylum" purchased by the railroad and repurposed as a Station. There is another very similar one at Lake Side, the lake Side railroad station, quite close by. So why did they need so many huge ornate Stations so close to each other. And the population at the tome was not huge, only a few thousand believe. Something is not right huh? I have seen photos of other Railroad Stations almost identical to Everett Street.

    It should be noted that the people living during the time of this magnificent architecture were not in awe of them as we are today; these buildings had existed for centuries! Furthermore, there is sufficient historical evidence to conclude that the majority of these so-called ‘insane asylums’ were, in fact, re-education institutions. They housed HISTORIANS - adults (and teenagers) whose personal experience and knowledge of past events and circumstances would counteract any alternate narrative! By containing these ‘HUMAN RESOURCES’ (interesting term!) and destroying their diaries, letters, etc, a widespread acceptance of HISTORICAL FICTION (combining fictional events and characters with real historical facts and events) would be possible … and successful.
