Clinton Valley Center

The Clinton Valley Center (CVC), originally called the Eastern Michigan Asylum for the Insane, was a psychiatric hospital located at 140 Elizabeth Lake Road in Pontiac, Michigan. The facility was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1974〔 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.〔 The facility was closed in 1997 and demolished in 2000.
==History==
In 1873, to alleviate the overcrowding at the Kalamazoo psychiatric hospital, the Michigan state legislature appropriated $400,000 for the construction of a second hospital in eastern Michigan. Cities in the area were requested to bid for the project, and Pontiac won out over Detroit and other cities. The architect for the original main hospital was Elijah E. Myers, who also served as the architect for the current Michigan State Capitol in Lansing.〔 The asylum opened its doors five years later, on August 1, 1878,〔 and began treating 222 patients.〔 The original superintendent, Henry Mills Hurd, introduced muiltiple innovations in psychiatric care, including discouraging restraints, occupational therapy, and recreational activities.〔
Both the campus size and number of patients slowly grew, as the hospital was repeatedly enlarged between 1882 and 1895 (also designed by Myers), with more additions in 1906, 1914, and 1938.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Paul Eastern Michigan Asylum Historic District )〕 In 1911, the hospital changed its name to Pontiac State Hospital. During the 1950s, the hospital experienced its peak of approximately 3,100 residing patients.〔 The facility was renamed the Clinton Valley Center in 1973,〔 and by the later 1970s the number of patients had declined to around 800.〔
Due to a decreasing number of patients, the facility was closed in 1997 by the State of Michigan with only 200 patients.〔 The facility was demolished in 2000; a subdivision now stands on the site of the old hospital.〔
