The Brattleboro Retreat, Linden St. (1836), is a partially State-supported
hospital for the insane. The brick buildings of the large plant, some of
recent construction, others dating from the earlier years of the institution,
are set in the quiet seclusion of the spacious landscaped grounds. There
were about 700 patients in residence in 1937. - Vermont: A Guide to the
Green Mountain State, 1937, Brattleboro section, pg 100.
The Brattleboro Retreat continues to operate as a psychiatric hospital with
other programs including out-patient treatments along with full hospitalization.
