Hamilton Isane Asylum
Hamilton Insane Asylum was a mental health facility in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
The asylum was opened in 1876 and moved some patients from the Toronto Asylum.[1]
Structures[edit]
Century Manor is a historic structure built in 1884 and the only remaining element of the asylum. The Victoria Gothic building on the 500-acre property remained in use until the 1980s.[1]
Originally called East House, it served various roles:[2]
- home to treatment program for alcoholics
- forensic psychiatry program
- school and treatment program for adolescents
It was briefly a museum, but closed in 1995, and has since become vacant.[3]
All the other buildings relating to the asylum have been demolished and remain under provincial ownership.[1]
