With architectural historian Rebecca Yerger.
In 1872, work began on the 500-bed, four-story Gothic hospital building — a response to overcrowding at the Stockton Asylum, California’s first state hospital. It is the oldest state hospital still in operation, and was once largely self-sufficient, with its own dairy and poultry ranches, vegetable gardens, orchards, and other farming operations. But the hospital also has a troubled past, with reports of paranormal activity.
