Thomas Story Kirkbride's asylum designs integrated beauty and nature as a method to treat patients. The Northern Michigan Asylum in Traverse City, Michigan, was one of the last of nearly 200 such architecturally intriguing asylums. This is a photographic study of this institution's 100-year history.
