St. Elizabeths Hospital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The campus of St. Elizabeths sits on bluffs overlooking the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, in the southeast quadrant of Washington, DC. The hospital had been casually known by this name since the time of the Civil War, when-- in their letters home to loved ones -- patients of army hospitals temporarily located on the grounds were reluctant to refer to the institution by its full title.It was a good hospital. Much of St. Elizabeths' campus has now fallen into disuse, and is consequently in serious disrepair; St. Elizabeths was named one of the nation's 11 Most Endangered Places in 2002 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/St._Elizabeth's_Hospital   (389 words)

National Historic Landmarks Program (NHL) Elizabeths Hospital, founded in 1852, began operations in 1855 as the Government Hospital for the Insane, one of the nation’s earliest asylums to offer moral treatment and enlightened human care to persons with mental illness. A reluctance of the soldiers to write home stating that they were recuperating at the Government Hospital for the Insane gave rise to the use of the name St. Elizabeths, the historic name of the old royal land grant of which the campus was a part. Thereafter, the institution was informally referred to as St. Elizabeths for decades until the name was formally changed by Congress in 1916. tps.cr.nps.gov /nhl/detail2.cfm?ResourceId=1812&Date=&Ownership=PublicFederal&priorityname=&ResourceType=District   (214 words)
