The reading from Grob The Mad Among Us detailed the beginnings of Mental Health Institutions in America (Grob 1-128). This link is information about the first established public Mental Health Hospital in America. Located in Williamsburg, the blog describes the first hospital as having been destroyed in a fire and the new one which was built adjacent to it.
