Description
About
Kirkbride buildings are named after Dr. Thomas Story Kirkbride, a nineteenth-century physician who authored a treatise on hospital design. This treatise and Dr. Kirkbride's other writings had a far-reaching influence on the construction of hospitals for the mentally ill from the eighteen-fifties through the eighteen-eighties. Kirkbride buildings are most recognizably characterized by their somewhat unique "bat wing" floorplan and their often lavish Victorian-era architecture.
More information on Kirkbride buildings, other asylum types, and the history of mental healthcare can be found by visiting web sites listed on the links page, and by consulting books and documents listed in the bibliography.
