Oregon State Hospital Historic District
Oregon State Hospital Historic District, Historic mental health complex in Salem, United States
The Oregon State Hospital Historic District contains more than 60 historic buildings and structures spread across a 130-acre campus near downtown Salem.
Established around 1910, the district emerged from the earlier Oregon Insane Asylum, marking a shift in mental health treatment approaches in the Pacific Northwest.
The district incorporates architectural designs by notable Oregon architects including Pietro Belluschi, William C. Knighton, and Edgar M. Lazarus, representing institutional building styles.
The district boundaries extend between D Street, Park Avenue, 24th Street, and Bates Drive, with certain areas remaining active healthcare facilities.
The main hospital building follows the Kirkbride Plan principles, which emphasized natural light and ventilation through strategic building placement and window arrangements.
