Description:

This psychiatric institution was founded by Agnes Richards, a nurse determined to bring quality care to women. Built in the 1920s, the buildings and grounds were fashioned after a Spanish mission. Notable residents included Billie Burke who played Glinda the Good Witch in the classic "Wizard of Oz." Because it is a historic site it has been maintained. Its fate is unknown at this time but it may soon return to its former purpose as a retreat for the mentally ill.
