Steuart, who had been at th-e head of the old Maryland Hospital for many years, conceived the idea of purchasing ground at a distance from tlie city for tlie erection of an Insane Asylum. Contributions were col- lected. One hundred and thirty-six acres of land were pur- chased in the neighborliood of Catonsville, and given to the State for the purpose. In 1852, work was commenced upon the structure, under the supervision of Dr. Steuart and a building committee, consisting of Judge Dobbin, J. Ho...ward McHenry, Dr. Jas. Steuart, A. Bowie Davis, and Frank How- ard. From time to time the different Legislatures made ap- propriations aggregating $400, 000, and a plain, massive and substantial edifice has arisen, which is likely to prove a ben- efit to generations yet unborn. It is constructed of EUicott City granite, very neatly fin- ished. The walls, for these times of hasty and insecure build- ings, are remarkably thick. The plans of the best Asylums in tills country have been consulted. All the modern ideas with reference to the care and treatment of the insane, be- gotten of a very broad experience, have been considered.
