John R. Oughton House
The John R. Oughton House, commonly known as The Lodge or the Keeley Estate, is a Victorian mansion located in the village of Dwight, Illinois, United States. The grounds remain mostly unchanged since the house was moved from its original site in 1894 and remodeled a year later. John R. Oughton occupied the house until his death in 1925, and in 1930, the house became a boarding home for patients of the internationally known Keeley Institute. The Keeley Institute was founded in 1879, in part by Oughton, and utilized a new form of treatment for alcoholism. The estate grounds feature two outbuildings, a carriage house and a windmill, as well as a pond. Since 1978, the Oughton House has been occupied by a private restaurant, but the windmill is owned by the Village of Dwight, and the carriage house is a public library. The Oughton House and its outbuildings were added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
==Background==
(詳細はLeslie Keeley announced the result of a collaboration with John R. Oughton, which was heralded as a "major discovery" by Keeley.〔Lion, Jean Pierre. ''Bix: The Definitive Biography of a Jazz Legend'', ((Google Books )), Continuum International Publishing Group: 2005, p. 231, (ISBN 0-8264-1699-3). Retrieved 30 September 2007.〕 The discovery, a new treatment for alcoholism—developed from a partnership with John Oughton, an Irish chemist, and a merchant named Curtis Judd—resulted in the founding of the Keeley Institute.〔 The institute's work was pioneering in its field; Keeley aimed to treat alcoholism as a disease rather than as a vice.〔 Keeley managed to amass a fortune, becoming a millionaire through the institute and its famous slogan, "Drunkenness is a disease and I can cure it."〔 The Keeley Institute eventually had over 200 branches throughout the United States and Europe, and by 1900, the so-called Keeley Cure, injections of gold chloride, had been administered to more than 300,000 people.〔 After 1900, the patient numbers were lower with 100,000 additional people taking the cure between 1900 and 1939.〔"(Keeley Cure )," ''Time Magazine'', 25 September 1939. Retrieved 30 September 2007.〕
After Keeley died in 1900, Oughton and Judd took over and continued the Keeley Institute. The institute drew criticism and with Keeley, its primary spokesman and defender, gone, the organization began to fade into national oblivion. By the late 1930s, most physicians believed that "that drunkards are neurotics (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/sic" TITLE="sic">sic'' ) and cannot be cured by injections."〔 When John R. Oughton died in 1925, his son took over the declining institute. It continued to operate until closing its doors in 1965.〔
