Iowa, Clarinda, Clarinda State Hospital, Administration Building

            The Clarinda State Hospital was erected in 1885.   The hospital complex was built under the Kirkbride Plan. The Kirkbride Plan was a design concept based on theories advocated by psychiatrist Thomas S. Kirkbride in the mid-19th century.  Kirkbride believed that in the healing of the mentally ill, exposure to natural light and air circulation were crucial.   Kirkbride Plan hospitals had in common the "bat wing" style floor plan, housing numerous wings that sprawl outward from the center or administration building. The administration section at the Clarinda State Hospital is a red brick with white trim Victorian Gothic style façade with a large clocktower.  In 2015, the hospital facility was shut down and all patient services terminated.
