Description |
Photograph of the Agnews State Asylum for the Insane shortly after its construction in 1888. A photographer and camera stand in the dirt road leading to the main entrance of the asylum. The asylum consisted of an administration building in the center flanked on either side by wings housing more than 900 patients. The building was 750 feet long and was constructed at a cost of $750,000. Much of the stone and masonry building collapsed during the 1906 earthquake, killing 11 staff members and 101 patients. |
