==History==<br />
Ravenscrag, sited up the hill on McTavish Street, was once the home of Scottish born cargo tycoon, Sir Hugh Allan. It was built in 1861 by Victor Roy and John Hopkins and described by some as a "pile of roughly hewn granite boldly rising from the side of Mount Royal." Sir Hugh Allan purchased 14 acres from the decaying McTavish estate and built a luxurious home that commanded an imposing view of the entire city. This elegant and aristocratic mansion resembled a Scottish castle on the Isle of Wright and bears Scottish and regal architectural associations like the family crest and thistles which are inscribed on its exterior.<br />
<br />
The picturesque massing of Ravenscrag resulted in a complex that permitted wings and additions with the greatest possible ease. Sir Hugh's home had an asymmetric facade dominated by a large, a solid tower and a wrought iron gate that encircled his property further emphasizing his influence and power in the city of Montréal. The thirty-four room interior featured a different architectural style - an Italian dining room, a French ballroom and a Victorian oak-paneled library with ornate furniture. The building has maintained its residential character and its villa-style expressed an attempt to integrate city and country life. The latter was further enforced by a landscape designed by Frederick Todd which featured a meandering pathway that echoed the sequencing of Olmstead's path to the summit of Mount Royal.<br />
<br />
Following the death Sir Hugh Allan's son (Sir Montagu Allan) in 1940, Lady Allan donated Ravenscrag to the Royal Victoria Hospital. It was renamed the Allan Memorial Institute in 1943. To serve the present needs as a psychiatric hospital and research institute, the interior of the building was altered and many additions have been made to the exterior by architects Harold Lawson and Harold Little. As architectural historian Don Gillmor notes, and as evidenced by drawings from the Canadian Centre for Architecture, "rooms were divided, ceilings lowered, linoleum covered the hardwood floor, the conservatory removed and terraces, porches and verandahs were enclosed." According to the Heritage Value Assessment (2006), the radical alteration of Ravenscrag to the Allan Memorial Institute was "a total disaster" from a heritage conservation point of view.<br />
<br />
The original floor plans of Ravenscrag were rigorously divided on the east and the west of the building. Publicly inaccessible spaces were located on the west, upper and back floors, while semi-private doctor's offices occupied the rear and the west wing where the Ravenscrag kitchen once stood. The east side featured more publicly accessible spaces - day clinics, offices for social workers, waiting rooms and a staff kitchen. The Allan Memorial Institute also remains a powerful reminder of a dark chapter in the hospital's history where the infamous CIA Project MKUltra, a series of secret mind-control experiments, took place in the most private top floors of the science labs and interrogation cells. Two additional wings, the Allan Memorial Wing, a four storey reinforced concrete building with 54 beds was added in 1953 and the Training and Research building of McGill University was added in 1963.<br />
Despite this fracturing of the building, many reports describe the Allan Memorial Institution as congenial, almost hotel-like providing a setting that was both, friendly and domestic. Several scholars also note that the Allan Memorial <br />
Institute was unlike older, more formal hospital architecture due to its residential character and architecture. One scholar argues that the emphasis on domesticity, modernity and community contributed to an advancement in psychiatric care that resulted in a more socially integrated approach to medicine and community care.<br />
<br />
With the imminent move of the Royal Victoria Hospital in 2015, there is yet another opportunity to re-transform the Allan Memorial Institute.<br />

==History==<br />
Ravenscrag, sited up the hill on McTavish Street, was once the home of Scottish born cargo tycoon, Sir Hugh Allan. It was built in 1861 by Victor Roy and John Hopkins and described by some as a "pile of roughly hewn granite boldly rising from the side of Mount Royal." Sir Hugh Allan purchased 14 acres from the decaying McTavish estate and built a luxurious home that commanded an imposing view of the entire city. This elegant and aristocratic mansion resembled a Scottish castle on the Isle of Wright and bears Scottish and regal architectural associations like the family crest and thistles which are inscribed on its exterior.<br />
<br />
The picturesque massing of Ravenscrag resulted in a complex that permitted wings and additions with the greatest possible ease. Sir Hugh's home had an asymmetric facade dominated by a large, a solid tower and a wrought iron gate that encircled his property further emphasizing his influence and power in the city of Montréal. The thirty-four room interior featured a different architectural style - an Italian dining room, a French ballroom and a Victorian oak-paneled library with ornate furniture. The building has maintained its residential character and its villa-style expressed an attempt to integrate city and country life. The latter was further enforced by a landscape designed by Frederick Todd which featured a meandering pathway that echoed the sequencing of Olmstead's path to the summit of Mount Royal.<br />
<br />
Following the death Sir Hugh Allan's son (Sir Montagu Allan) in 1940, Lady Allan donated Ravenscrag to the Royal Victoria Hospital. It was renamed the Allan Memorial Institute in 1943. To serve the present needs as a psychiatric hospital and research institute, the interior of the building was altered and many additions have been made to the exterior by architects Harold Lawson and Harold Little. As architectural historian Don Gillmor notes, and as evidenced by drawings from the Canadian Centre for Architecture, "rooms were divided, ceilings lowered, linoleum covered the hardwood floor, the conservatory removed and terraces, porches and verandahs were enclosed." According to the Heritage Value Assessment (2006), the radical alteration of Ravenscrag to the Allan Memorial Institute was "a total disaster" from a heritage conservation point of view.<br />
<br />
The original floor plans of Ravenscrag were rigorously divided on the east and the west of the building. Publicly inaccessible spaces were located on the west, upper and back floors, while semi-private doctor's offices occupied the rear and the west wing where the Ravenscrag kitchen once stood. The east side featured more publicly accessible spaces - day clinics, offices for social workers, waiting rooms and a staff kitchen. The Allan Memorial Institute also remains a powerful reminder of a dark chapter in the hospital's history where the infamous CIA Project MKUltra, a series of secret mind-control experiments, took place in the most private top floors of the science labs and interrogation cells. Two additional wings, the Allan Memorial Wing, a four storey reinforced concrete building with 54 beds was added in 1953 and the Training and Research building of McGill University was added in 1963.<br />
Despite this fracturing of the building, many reports describe the Allan Memorial Institution as congenial, almost hotel-like providing a setting that was both, friendly and domestic. Several scholars also note that the Allan Memorial <br />
Institute was unlike older, more formal hospital architecture due to its residential character and architecture. One scholar argues that the emphasis on domesticity, modernity and community contributed to an advancement in psychiatric care that resulted in a more socially integrated approach to medicine and community care.<br />
<br />
With the imminent move of the Royal Victoria Hospital in 2015, there is yet another opportunity to re-transform the Allan Memorial Institute.<br />

Detroit Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In 1919, the land now known as Maybury State Park held a tuberculosis sanitarium. Originally called the Detroit Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, the facility was later named for William H. Maybury who spearheaded its development and actually oversaw its construction. The sanitarium was a city within itself consisting of around 40 buildings and could generate power and grow most of its own food. It served as a quarantine and recovery center for people with tuberculosis. At that time, there was no cure for tuberculosis until many years later when the development of antibiotics brought real help to people with the disease. The sanitarium was closed in 1969 when there was no longer a need for it. Most of the buildings had been torn down by 1975 when the State of Michigan Department of natural resources (MDNR) stepped in and the land became known as Maybury State Park.<br />

== History ==<br />
The St. Joseph's Retreat was established in 1860 as the Michigan State Retreat. This was Michigan's first private mental institution, and allegedly catered mostly to the affluent. It was started by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. In 1855 the Sisters of St. Mary's Hospital began to care for the mentally ill, who had formerly been confined to prisons or the county poor house. In 1860, they opened a seperate facility named the Michigan State Retreat, which was incorporated in 1883 as St. Joseph's Retreat. The original building stood on 140 acres overlooking the Rouge River. It was later enlarged to house 400 patients. At first these were Civil War veterans, and later alcoholics, drug addicts, and other "incurables." The first telephone installed in Dearborn was at the Retreat in 1889.<br />
<br />
It was closed and demolished in 1963. Dearborn High School was built on land that formerly belonged to the Retreat. A historic plaque stands at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Outer Drive, marking the site.<br />
<br />
Notably, the hospital was designed along the same lines as the other Kirkbrides within the state. Also Florida state legislator and U.S. Senator Charles Wm. Jones (1834 - 1897) died in the hospital on October 11, 1897. <br />

It was started by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. In 1855 the Sisters of St. Mary's Hospital began to care for the mentally ill, who had formerly been confined to prisons or the county poor house. In 1860, they opened a seperate facility named the Michigan State Retreat, which was incorporated in 1883 as St. Joseph's Retreat. The original building stood on 140 acres overlooking the Rouge River. It was later enlarged to house 400 patients. At first these were Civil War veterans, and later alcoholics, drug addicts, and other "incurables." The first telephone installed in Dearborn was at the Retreat in 1889.<br />
<br />
It was closed and demolished in 1963. Dearborn High School was built on land that formerly belonged to the Retreat. A historic plaque stands at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Outer Drive, marking the site.<br />
<br />
Notably, the hospital was designed along the same lines as the other Kirkbrides within the state. Also Florida state legislator and U.S. Senator Charles Wm. Jones (1834 - 1897) died in the hospital on October 11, 1897. <br />
