In 1868, the Connecticut Valley Hospital was established by the General Assembly as the first public hospital for the mentally ill in Connecticut. The concept and layout of the campus was based on the theories of Dr. Thomas Kirkbride. His ideas were adopted as a standard and affected the design of mental health facilities for many years. He thought that mental health patients should be isolated from outside influences as they were felt to be the cause of many of the patients’ problems. He believed that every campus should have at least 100 acres of land and should be self-contained with its own farm, gardens, and occupational opportunities. The buildings consisted of a large central core with long wings on each side.

Google has a search function, too.


Clearly by this point, I will never.

But anyways, a good resource, incomplete or not.

Westboro.


Seriously, this is gonna drive me fuckin nuts. Is there a single kirk part of the place or is it just that decent of an exploring meme? Aside from the joke, I've also seen it argued both ways too.

Look in any history of psychology or psychiatry and there's no mention of Thomas Kirkbride. Aside from leaving interesting buildings to explore did he have any influence whatsoever? Did he have influential treatment plans or theories of causes/treatments of insanity that inspired some of the great minds of psychology? Guess I don't know enough about it.

Its kind funny that its the last kirkbride ever built, and its going to be gone before the first one.


The last Kirkbride built was Cherokee in Iowa, which was started in 1894 and completed in 1903. Fergus Falls was actually started in 1888 and opened in 1890, though not completed until 1906.

Kentucky had two recognized Kirkbrides until 1996. What's even more interesting is, having seen no demolition or other major adversities over the years, the remaining one is still active.

A while back some newbie was arguing actually quite passionately that some part of it was. Typically, Played played him.

Woost. See, my problem is that I don't really know what, visually, defines a Kirkbride. All I can tell is that the most beautiful ones are Kirks...I'm intensely ignorant on the subject. All I know to look for are the intense jagged arrows.

Actually that wasnt me who he said it to haha. I was just there for it.

And yes, that kind of counts but too bad you missed the actually 'kirk' part.

Got a shot? I used to wander around the place way back in the day since I had therapy right near it. Had no idea what it even was and can't even remember what I saw.

The therapy, by the way, did not help.

It used to have wings and outbuildings (of the original kirk building and campus)
Well, for most of my exploring life, just one set of wards/one wing.

Now, it's just admin that remains of any original buildings.

So... sort of a kirk... I guess. If by sort of you mean like, 1/16th of a kirk.

Now.

Holy fuck, are you kidding me? No wonder the tower always look so awkward the way it stood like a lanky nervous old man. I could never put my finger on the fact that it seemed incomplete.

As much as I love the place...can't help but feel a bit cheated now.

SC still has a pretty nice kirkbride, but they're in the process of trying to sell off/develop the property. doesn't look too good for the guy trying to develop it though, so I'm sure it'll be around for a while if you wanna come check it out.
