This hospital was closed in 2009 and sat many years empty. These are pictures from when it was shutdown. The State of Alabama has since remodeled it, and is opening and taking patients today.

Bryce Hospital, opened in 1861 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is Alabama's oldest and largest inpatient psychiatric facility. First known as the Alabama State Hospital for the Insane and later as the Alabama Insane Hospital, the building is considered an architectural model.

The hospital currently houses 268 beds for acute care, treatment and rehabilitation of full-time (committed) patients. The Mary Starke Harper Geriatric Psychiatry Hospital, a separate facility on the same campus, provides an additional 100 beds for inpatient geriatric care. The main facility was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

Cool, I like the dental tools! I wonder if those photographs are of the staff and patients or if its family members of patients, they could be the only photos of people that are now long gone...

Is this a poop-through chair on the left?

It's in better shape than what I have viewed on utube while being just as old.

Picture #8 looks like it might be an old electro shock setup.
