The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, subsequently the Weston State Hospital, was a Kirkbride Plan psychiatric hospital operated from 1864 until 1994 by the government of West Virginia, in the city of Weston. Built by architect Richard Andrews, it was constructed from 1858-1881. Originally designed to hold 250 people, it became overcrowded in the 1950s with 2,400 patients. It was forcibly closed in 1994 due to changes in treatments of patients. Credit line: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M.
