West Tennessee Hospital for the Insane (now Western Mental Health Institute) in Bolivar opened with the transfer of 156 patients from Nashville in 1889. By 1939, the institute occupied a tract of 640 acres and had accommodations for 1,850 patients. In 1932, a building similar in design and accommodation to the main building was built for African-Americans.



Dr Calvin Jones donated the land with the stipulation that it reverted to the Jones Family if Tennessee wuit using it for a mental institution.
Thank you for the additional information.
“Quit” not “wuit”.
