In the dim light of civil twilight, the corridors of the Maples Building at Willard State Hospital take on an ethereal blue glow. Built in 1872, the Maples Building was a miniaturized Kirkbride Plan building, and three more soon followed. Willard - originally the New York State Asylum for the Chronic Insane - was a place from which patients were never expected to leave; some would spend the rest of their days wandering corridors such as this one.
