its erection the few insane patients OF Kings county
were housed In a smaller structure with hardly
any corvsn!ences and almost facilities for their

Kitchen 1t was finished In about 1882 and the fol-
lowing spring contained only seven patients II
served as en- asylum until 1898, when 1t was re-
placed By another building in order TO accommo-
date a rapidly increasing number OF patients. IL
was subsequently torn down. The new building
occupied in 1898 was used home for the insane
until 1885, when the old weather-beaten Duiioins
now known The Lodge was taken possession o'.
The Lodge is now used by the Almshouse as
carpenter shop. At the time this building was open
the number OF patients had increased to twenty.
The number increased rapidly that IN lS4i the
