Foxborough State Hospital
Foxborough State Hospital, Historic medical district in Foxborough, Massachusetts
The hospital complex features residential wards arranged in an L shape with an administration building at the center and support structures across the grounds.
The Massachusetts Hospital for Dipsomaniacs and Inebriates opened in 1889 as the first state-operated facility dedicated to treating alcoholic patients in the United States.
The architecture combines English Queen Anne revival elements with American colonial design, reflecting the late 19th-century institutional architectural preferences.
The former hospital buildings have been transformed into mixed-income housing units and a shopping plaza, while some structures remain unused.
The facility included an unusually large eight-body morgue, which remained operational throughout the hospital's active period until its closure in 1975.
