Massachusetts Mental Health Center
The Massachusetts Mental Health Center is a historic psychiatric hospital complex located at 75 Fenwood Road in the Longwood medical area of Boston, Massachusetts. Originally known as the Boston Psychopathic Hospital, it was established in 1912 and consisted of the main building, power plant, and later additions such as a therapeutic wing and research building. The entire property was enclosed by an iron picket fence. In 1994, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as one of the oldest psychiatric hospitals in the country. In 2009, the center's historic campus at 74 Fenwood Road was acquired by Partners HealthCare and subsequently demolished. The center continues to operate in modern facilities at 75 Fenwood Road.
