The Hospital for the Mind is officially opened, taking 300 of the most seriously ill patients (all male) from the Public House of the Insane. The building is renamed the Male Chronic Building and was renamed in 1950 to West Lawn. The Public Hospital for the Insane then served exclusively in the treatment of women until 1930.
