The
Gaebler Children's Center
In
a 1945 Governor and Council's report, it was noted that
the presence of three children aged 7,9 and 10 were amoung
the general population at Metropolitain State Hospital.
It was urged that children be removed from all state institutions
and be placed in a special setting with no other function
than care of children. This concern resulted in the construction
of the Gaebler Children's Center. On October 8th, 1955
the 160 bed unit for psychotic children under sixteen
years of age opened. Named after William C.Gaebler, the
second Superintendent of Metropolitan State Hospital.
January 31st 1992 The Gaebler Children's Center closed.
