[Notes: The newer buildings such as Oakview and Ridgewood were shorter but much more sprawling buildings. This view only includes the front and side wings, while an entire rear wing and "Y" shaped wing of the building are hidden from view. (See the 1970's maps to see the shapes of these buildings from the air.) Housing and related space for patients took up most of the main level while the basement level was used for activities, classrooms, storage, etc.]
