Description

Matteawan Statshospital for de Kriminelt Sindssyge blev etableret i 1892 som Matteawan Statshospital ved en lov fra 1892, Matteawan fungerede som et hospital for sindssyge
kriminelle. Det nye hospital anbragte og behandlede personer, der var dømt til det af straffedomstolene
og indsatte, der blev erklæret sindssyge, mens de afsonede deres domme i statslige institutioner.
Forstanderen for Statens Fængsler havde kontrol over hospitalet.

I 1886 anbefalede en lovgivningskommission i New York State køb af 246-acre Dates Farm i landsbyen Matteawan for $25.000. Stedet var landligt, men tilgængeligt med jernbane og tilbød godt dyrkbart land, rent vand og en behagelig udsigt mellem Hudson River og Fishkill Mountains. Arkitekten Isaac Perry, kendt for afslutningsarbejdet på New York State Capitol, blev ansat til at designe hovedhospitalbygningen med "en overflod af lys og ventilation" til at rumme 550 patienter. I april 1892 blev Asylet for Sindssyge Kriminelle, med 261 patienter, flyttet fra Auburn til sin nye placering. Det følgende år blev det omdøbt til Matteawan Statshospital.
