Salem County Insane Asylum
Salem County Insane Asylum, Historic mental health facility in Mannington Township, New Jersey, United States.
The three-story brick building features an Italianate architectural design with a square wood belvedere positioned at the center of its roof.
Built in 1870, the Salem County Insane Asylum operated until 1925 when its residents transferred to state facilities, after which it served as housing for the poor.
The facility represents a period when New Jersey counties established their own mental health institutions, reflecting local approaches to psychiatric care in the 1800s.
Located on Route 45 within the former Lakeview Complex, the building spans 9 acres and maintains its original center-hall layout with large front rooms.
This structure stands as the final remaining first-generation county mental health institution in New Jersey, earning placement on the National Register of Historic Places.
