As the story goes, this hospital was originally built in 1932, and at one time was considered to be one of the chief pioneers in developing new techniques for previously "untreatable" diagnoses (e.g., Schizophrenia, Autism, etc.). Unfortunately, as many a creepy mental hospital history goes, they were criticized for their mistreatment of patients (they stuffed them in by the droves), as well as their lack of concern for the safety of the local residents by taking in a large number of violent cases. In 1997, it closed down, and after some deliberation of potentially turning it into a prison, they decided to make it a school instead. Obvious decision, no?
There are still a few buildings remaining of the old hospital, relatively untouched since the patients left.
