About Eloise Asylum

The Eloise Asylum was originally built in 1839 as a poorhouse and farm, but by the late 1800s, it had transformed into a sprawling institution for the mentally ill. While the conditions were undoubtedly harsh, as they were in many asylums of the time, the Eloise Asylum was progressive in many respects. It offered occupational therapy and recreational activities, and even hosted a radio station. Today, the site is abandoned and deteriorating, but there are many preservation efforts underway.
