Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center, Minnesota

The Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center, located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, is a historic psychiatric hospital designed in the Kirkbride architectural style. Construction began in 1890 and it opened in 1895, intended to provide humane care for the mentally ill. The building's distinctive Romanesque Revival architecture, characterized by its imposing brick structure and prominent towers, reflects the prevailing design principles for such institutions during that era.
