Notes
  • Significance: Building 2 is significant as an integral component of the 1908 reconstruction of Agnews State Hospital in a pavilion plan. The new design for the hospital represented not only a reconfiguration of buildings into smaller structures in a park-like setting, but an important change in the perspectives on and treatment of patients. Agnews was the first mental facility in California to switch from the confinement and permanent housing of patients to scientific treatment with the hope of release. Progressive Era reformers nationwide adopted recreation as a tool to shape behavior. At Agnews, superintendent Dr. Leonard Stocking believed recreation was a useful and humane treatment for the mentally insane. In keeping with this mission, Building 2, the Amusement Hall, housed spaces for performances, social gatherings, billiards, music, and other diversions. In addition, Building 2 and the other structures from the 1908 plan are important as early attempts to use reinforced concrete as an earthquake and fire-resistant material.
