The
Infirmary building was built in
1900, it was the second building
built during the reconstruction of
the hospital, the first being the
administration building. The
building was designed by Addison
Hutton and was one of the more
original and imaginative designs
that Hutton created at the hospital.
Originally built for Chronic Insane
patients it was two buildings in
one. The left side of the building
was for men and the right was for
women. Both sides had large "airing
courts" in the center. The two
sections were connected in the
center by a dinning room. In 1930 a
second story was added to the
building and the large ventilation
cupolas were removed from the roof.
More recently the building underwent
an extensive addition and
renovation. A large addition was
built onto the original front
entrance of the building and a new
entrance was built onto the rear.
Today, the original building
designed by Addison in 1900 is
almost unrecognizable amongst all
the renovations and additions.
