This building housing the Arkansas State Lunatic Asylum, later called the Arkansas State Hospital, was built in the 1880s. Land was purchased in 1873, but the building, which was financed by a property tax and state appropriation, did not open until 1883. Serving the state for approximately eighty years, the outdated building was demolished and replaced in the early 1960s.
