Fergus Falls Kirkbride Building Courtyard, Minnesota

The Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, is a former state psychiatric hospital built in the Kirkbride style. Constructed in the late 19th century, it was designed around then-current ideas about ventilation, light, and ordered care. The complex closed after more than a century of operation and remains one of Minnesota’s notable institutional buildings.
