|Body= The [[Oregon State Hospital|main hospital building]] (now called the "J" building) was originally designed according to Kirkbride’s specifications, but when it came time to add on additional wards, real estate issues prevented the wings from being extended in the normal fashion. Instead, they were extended back at a right angle to the original building’s main axis. An extension of the hospital’s north wing ("Cascade Hall" or "J" building) in 1899 and the addition of seven separate buildings, including the familiar 1912 "Dome Building" where the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed, in succeeding years reflect the growing realization that the mental health of Oregonians is a continuing concern.

Before the establishment of the hospital, the criminally insane patients had been placed under the care of the staff of the State Hospital at Raleigh, which was located across the street from the prison, and housed in one of the penitentiary buildings. Now that the care of the criminally insane was the full responsibility of the state prison, a skilled physician was hired to be in charge of the ward and would serve a four-year term before a new physician was appointed.
