| − | |2=Say farewell to a historic part of Topeka. Workers Tuesday took the wrecking ball to the famous Center Building of the former [[Topeka State Hospital]].
| + | |2=The 128-year-old former mental health institute in the small southwest Iowa city of Clarinda isn’t your typical real estate opportunity, and so far no one is rushing to move in. More than seven months after the state closed the Clarinda Mental Health Institute, much of the sprawling building remains empty, including entire floors that haven’t been used in decades. |

| |
| − | |2=A long-vacant old hospital grounds could become the home of a new, multimillion-dollar sports complex.

The fading signs out front simply say [[A.G. Holley Hospital]]. There is nothing to suggest that one of history’s greatest killers lurks inside.

| |
| − | |2=Building two new mental hospitals to replace the [[Oregon State Hospital]] in Salem doesn't make sense during the worst recession in generations, critics say. The two-hospital plan grew out of a state-commissioned report issued in 2006 — before the economy tanked, spinning off double-digit unemployment, reduced tax revenue to pay for state government and looming budget deficits.

(By special) I thought he meant giants, because these buildings were so big and beautiful and immaculate to me. I just was enamored by how beautiful it was.” |

| | + | |2=Not too long ago, more than 60,000 people were sterilized in the United States based on eugenic laws. Most of these operations were performed before the 1960s in institutions for the so-called “mentally ill” or “mentally deficient.” In the early 20th century across the country, medical superintendents, legislators, and social reformers affiliated with an emerging eugenics movement joined forces to put sterilization laws on the books. |
