Mendocino State Hospital...

Mendocino State Hospital in Northern California, and north of San Francisco, near Ukiah, which was shut down, also, quite a number of years ago..This institution was even much older than the Camarillo State Hospital, and it was built sometime very early in the last century..This photo is an actual post card from the hospital, itself, and it reads: "Mendocino State Hospital for Insane" right on the face of the postcard, as you can see..This, obviously, was before they changed the name of asylums to just "state hospitals"...
