Peoria Asylum (gone)

This place is on private property. Listing for informational purposes only. Please do not visit without express permission from the land owner.

Owned by Save The Bowen, a not-for-profit organization established exclusively to help save this historical building. The hospital's original title was The Illinois Asylum for The Incurable Insane, or IAII. That is a mouthful, and luckily, the state hospital has had more than just that one official name. Throughout the years, the site has been referred to--and understood by others--as several more common, though less descriptive, names. Peoria Asylum is one of the many nomenclatures used by people when referring to the old building and grounds it stands on.
