This institution was established by an act of the Legislature, bearing date April 16, 1869, entitled, "An Act to establish the Northern Illinois Hospital and Asylum for the Insane." In June, 1870, the location was fixed, about one and a half miles south of the city of Elgin, on the west bank of Fox river. The farm connected with the asylum contains over 400 acres. Fox river forms its eastern bound ary line, from which it gradually ascends to the west, and is surrounded with the most delightful scenery. The north wing of this institution was completed and opened for the reception of patients in April, 1872, and is capable of accommodating some 210 patients, exclusive of employees. An appropriation for completing the building in accordance with the original plans was granted by the legislature in the spring of 1873, and work commenced on the centre building and south wing during the following summer. • The centre building is now completed and occupied, and it is expected that the new wing will be ready for occupancy by September, 1874, when the capacity of the institution will be doubled. Number of insane in the State is 2,500 to 3,000, and the capacity of the three State Asylums is less than 1,100.
