What ever happened to the Willard Plan classification that we were discussing when we expanded the Cottage Plan and added the Transition Plan? Do we still need a Willard Plan classification for that and other New York asylums or should it be something different?

See, its hard to say.
I have been trying to figure out how to do it.
The kirkbride plan is as much a plan of treatment as well as a building plan, Cottages too are distinct building plans and, depending on the era were built with a specific type of treatment in mind usually. Same with transitional pavillion types, fairly similar building plan making a sort of hybrid kirk and cottage, mixing ideas of treatment.
The willard plan has no real physical attribute to construction. Look at Willard, a kirkbride, mini kirk things, the old school building. Binghampton, a single building formerly innibrate asylum. Tewksberry, grew out of an almshouse to become a willard plan, essentially comprising individual cottages and pavillions. Wernersville was burpose built but transitional in design.
There are four examples of "Willard Plan" or chronic insane hospitals, all are completely different in their physical construction.
Willard Plan does not really fit in the category of "Hospital plans", more in "hospital type"
We could add a new thing to the info bar, which states "Type of hospital" to distinguish from chronic hospitals, homeopathic hospitals, etc?
