Medfield State Hospital was built in 1896 in the small town of Harding, Massachusetts. It was one of the first hospitals to be built in the emerging cottage style, a radical departure from its predecessor, the Kirkbride. The hospital took its first patient weeks before construction was completed, such was the overcrowding at Worcester State. Medfield is unique in that the campus was used to inter Japanese POW's during WWII.Monday, August 4, 2008
