North Dakota State Hospital, insane asylum, admin bldg 1920s RPPC postcard jj299

Description: Light wear including a few marks. From Wikipedia: The North Dakota State Hospital, on the southern rim of the James River valley overlooking Jamestown, North Dakota, has since 1885 been North Dakota's primary institution for treating the mentally ill and confining the criminally insane.Early history[edit]The North Dakota territorial legislature authorized a "hospital for the insane" in 1883. On May 1, 1885, the State Hospital opened, four years before North Dakota was granted statehood. Along with the University of North Dakota, it is the only institution in North Dakota to predate statehood. The first superintendent was Dr. O. Wellington Archibald, who had previously worked for the US Army at Fort Abraham Lincoln near Mandan, North Dakota.[1]The new institution was praised by authorities of the time.[2] Crowding, however, forced the institution to expand repeatedly, as the number of patients grew from 106 in 1886 to 819 in 1912, and then to 1,288 by 1920.Forced sterilization[edit]Along with many other states, North Dakota practiced forced sterilization of its patients. The practice began in 1914, and continued until the 1950s.
