I saw there was a favorite Kirkbride thread, so I decided to start this one.
They are all beautiful in their own way, but I have to say my least favorite is probably St. Elizabeths or the ones that sort of look the same (Austin, Inst. of the Penn Hospital, St. Peter, etc).
Maybe I'm just going by administration section too... Austin is pretty interesting wing-wise.
What are yours?

Dixmont looked like it was a very plain looking building.

I agree, Dixmont did look a little plain, but other then that, there were not too many others that would be considered plain.

I agree on Dixmont, bland, small, and the wings were not even traditional. I'm not a huge fan of Hudson because it's not symmetrical, even the wing that does exist in full doesn't have strait and true lines. Trenton is also pretty ugly as it sits today.

Keep in mind a lot of these places today don't reflect the grand places that were built over a century ago.

Personally, ever though it's a WV hospital, I never much cared for Spencer State Hospital. It's brick and all in one straight line (no set backs).

Trenton looks better in person. The additions to the kirk look pretty nice.
