Utica Psychiatric Center
The Utica Psychiatric Center, also known as Utica State Hospital, which opened in Utica in 1843, was New York's first state-run facility designed to care for the mentally ill and was one of the first such institutions in the United States, predating and perhaps influencing the Kirkbride Plan which called for similar institutions nationwide. It was originally called the New York State Lunatic Asylum at Utica. The Greek Revival structure was designed by Captain William Clarke and was funded through a combination of money provided by the state and contributions raised by Utica residents.
The building stands over fifty feet high, five hundred and fifty feet long, and nearly fifty feet in depth. The six Greek style columns that decorate the front of "Old Main" stand at forty-eight feet tall and each has an eight-foot diameter. As for capacity, recorded in 1850, "a listing of accommodations noted: 380 single rooms for patients, 24 for their attendants, 20 dormitories each accommodating from 5 to 12 persons, 16 parlors or day rooms, 12 dining rooms, 24 bathing rooms, 24 closets and 24 water closets" 〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=Brad )〕
==History==
In 1852 Old Main's first floor stairway caught fire. Patients and staff were safely evacuated, but a firefighter and doctor were killed while trying to salvage items from the building. The entire center portion of the building was destroyed.Four days after the fire at Old Main, a barn on the asylum grounds caught fire. William Spiers, a convicted arsonists, former patient and sporadic employee, was arrested and admitted to setting both fires because he was angry with his supervisor. The first fair, held in 1843 or 1844, raised $200, which went toward an addition to the library, musical instruments and a greenhouse.
