Austin State Hospital, Psychiatric facility in Austin, United States.
The Neoclassical building complex spans across multiple structures on Guadalupe Street, featuring symmetrical architecture with white facades and columned entrances.
Established in 1861 as the Texas State Lunatic Asylum, this institution became the first psychiatric treatment center west of the Mississippi River.
The facility maintains detailed records and artifacts from its 160-year history, including medical equipment, personal belongings, and architectural documentation.
The hospital provides specialized mental health services to Texas residents through inpatient care programs and collaborates with educational institutions for research.
The hospital operated its own self-sustaining community with an ice factory, dairy farm, and gardens, supporting both patients and staff until the mid-20th century.
