1904-1996 Norwich state hospital

The Norwich State Hospital, originally established as Norwich State Hospital for the Insane and later shortened to Norwich Hospital, was a psychiatric hospital. It opened its doors in October 1904 and it remained operational until October 1996. Throughout its years of operation, it housed geriatric patients, chemically dependent patients and, from 1931 to 1939, tubercular patients.

Its history is well documented. It is said that several of the buildings are now haunted by the spirits of past residents. Several references are listed below.

The Gatehouse is shown in the photo.
