History
After World War 2, the state of Indiana decided it needed a separate facility for with children with psychological illnesses. In later years also housed adults to ease overcrowding at Central State Hospital several miles away. Through the late 1970's the hospital came under scrutiny for patient abuse complaints, it remained open however. Closed in 1996 and moved to the Veterans Administration building on Cold Spring Rd. The University of Indiana plans to demolish the building to expand Wishard Memorial Hospital.
