Hospital for the Insane, 1910

Worcester State Hospital was an abandoned state hospital that has since been mostly demolished.

The original hospital, known as the Worcester Lunatic Asylum, was built in 1833 which makes it the first state hospital built in Massachusetts.

The hospital quickly became overcrowded and a new hospital, the Worcester State Hospital, was built in 1876. historyofmassachusetts.org
