New York State Inebriate Asylum, Former treatment hospital in Binghamton, United States
The stone building features Gothic Revival architecture with a central administrative core and long patient wings extending from both sides.
Built in 1864, the facility introduced a revolutionary approach by treating alcoholism as a medical condition rather than a moral failing.
The establishment reflected changing 19th century social perspectives regarding alcohol consumption and its effects on American society.
Following its closure in 1993, the building transferred to Binghamton University, which plans to rehabilitate the structure for future use.
The institution implemented the Kirkbride plan, separating patients by gender and condition severity in specialized sections of the facility.
