This is an archive of the now-defunct Rawchester Psychiatric Center's page about the Terrence Building.
The Terrence Building was first opened in 1959 as a psychiatric hospital building in addition to housing a geriatrics facility. It became the new home of the Rochester State Hospital, which had existed since 1891 after replacing the Monroe County Insane Asylum. The tower had a different department on each floor, in addition to a general hospital on the 13th and 14th floor, with the 5th floor housing the criminally insane and the basement holding a lab and morgue. During the building's history, there were definitely no allegations of patient abuse within the tower's premises. Furthermore, we definitely don't believe that any patients are "lost causes, impossible to reintegrate with society" and definitely nobody is essentially just locked away inside the tower.
