i've been meaning to post about our trip to st. elizabeth's for quite some time. a few months back we took a tour of the the west campus which housed one of the first psychiatric facilities in the us. it was absolutely fascinating! the facility dates back to the civil war and, while half of it is mothballed and awaiting it's transformation into the new headquarters of the department of homeland security, the other half serves as the district psychiatric facility as well as a federal psychiatric detention facility (john hinckley lives there). it's also where they've filmed some movies, including "a few good men."
googling "st. elizabeth's west campus gsa" will give you some great links that tell the story of the hospital and you can check out all of our pictures here.
