SynopsisSpencer State Hospital, as it is known by many, was originally founded as the West Virginia Second Hospital for the Insane. It opened in 1893 at Spencer, West Virginia to relieve an overcrowded condition at another asylum in Weston, West Virginia. With changing laws and modern ways, it was closed down in 1989 after fulfilling its mission for almost a century. The author has written this book for those who have a desire to know more about the Victorian Gothic structure that once overlooked Spring Creek at Spencer, West Virginia.
