Center is a very compelling yet strangely inappropriate building for
treatment the mentally ill. Looking over the grounds one has to ask
what kind of person would think of housing people desperately in need
of hope in such a dark prison like facility? Nevertheless, the complex
houses an amazing group of buildings worth which are certainly worth
preserving, even if one has to ask: “for what purpose?” Of course,
it might be best served by letting Hollywood in on the secret, and
allow them to film to true story of what went on between these dark
walls. Rumor has it some very bad things used to go within these walls!
