| | | Just passing through a while back, stopped by a place a lot of you are probably familiar with. Didn't have a whole lot of time and had to move quick, need to go back and see the rest some time... And get some better shots of the parts I already saw, really disappointed with most of the ones I got and lots of them were out of focus for some reason... Ghosts perhaps? The History: A now abandoned Mental Health Facility. It once housed 3,200 patients, operated for well over 100 years, and originally consisted of 300 acres of lakefront property. Nearly 300 people lost their jobs when it finally closed it's doors for good in 2012. The facility gained recognition for it's "Therapeutic Village" which housed 240 residents in cottages (1960's). The village had a store, clinic, library, swimming pool and chapel. A few years later it created the "Learning Lab", a GED prep and vocational learning facility that catered to patients and staff alike (1970's). While this Institution had its fair share of horrible incidents... It attempted, and succeeded, at being an innovative facility centered around helping the community and the region at large. Though many buildings have been demolished in the 90's, and the original building burned in the 1920's, there are still multiple buildings (both old and new) that remain on the campus. And one active building which houses a small (14 employees) placement office for the State mental health system. My favorite shot first 1. Reflections of Reality by Amishdelight, on Flickr 2.
