Westborough State Hospital
Westborough State Hospital, Historic district and former hospital in Westborough, Massachusetts, US.
The hospital grounds stretched across 600 acres between Lyman Street and Chauncy Lake, featuring multiple medical buildings and patient care facilities.
The institution, founded in 1884 as Westborough Insane Hospital, transformed from a State Reform School for Boys into New England's first homeopathic mental health facility.
African-American psychiatrist Solomon Carter Fuller conducted essential research on Alzheimer's disease brain alterations at this institution during the early 1900s.
The medical complex operated until 2010, when operations transferred to Worcester State Hospital, leading to the complete demolition of structures in 2019.
Patients participated in the hospital's self-sustaining operations by making clothes, growing food, and maintaining the facility through organized labor programs.
