Building the London Asylum for the Insane

  • ACO London Region Branch c/o Grosvenor Lodge 1017 Western Road London, ON, N6G 1G5 Canada (map)

In 1870, the London Asylum for the Insane opened its doors to patients from across Southern Ontario in need of mental health care. Over one hundred and fifty years later, many of the institution's buildings have been lost. But what was the impact of those buildings on the patients, employees and local community members? How does history and how do we remember them in the face of modern development? 

The Grand Opening of the exhibit is on Sunday, July 30th from 1-4pm at Grosvenor Lodge (1017 Western Rd, London, ON N6G1G5). The exhibit will also be open Sunday, August 6, 13, and 20, from 1-4pm.
