     History
    This was once a sprawling campus but now very little remains. It has been subdivided, with development in progress including residential homes, industrial facilities, etc. There is an Audobon Society protected research area on a large part of the former hospital, where some structures once stood. There is also a public farming area, and on the far side of the property is a small prison/jail housed in some renovated original buildings. A few of the remaining abandoned structures were actually used as some sort of minimum security jail in the 1970s-80s.
    It makes it easy to tell how big this place once was by looking for the old, mangled, wrought iron fencing along the perimeters of the former property, it was so big that several large roads/parkways split up the land.
