History:
The Crownsville Hospital Center is a former psychiatric hospital located in Crownsville, Maryland. It was in operation from 1911 to 2004.
The hospital grounds became the central county site for many social, school and health programs and the hospital finally closed in July 2004. Those patients in need of further psychiatric hospitalization were transferred to two of Maryland's remaining hospitals. Its original buildings are still standing and today portions of the campus are occupied by various tenants.
The site is also the location of Crownsville Hospital's patient cemetery. This historic site was rededicated in 2004. Approximately 1600 patients are buried in graves marked by numbers only with the more recent having patient names.
Information on Crownsville Hospital can be found in the Maryland State Archives Collections which contains reference materials from the Hospital, the Auxiliary, Paul Lurz and Doris Morgenstern Wachsler.
Notable People
In September 1989, Jeff Arch began working on a script for TriStar Pictures based on An Affair to Remember. Attracted by the local area, Arch originally placed the main protagonist as a resident in Crownsville in the initial draft. Tristar insisted that Arch choose a different location that would be more well-known to the American movie-going population. After several attempts to please TriStar, Arch finalised on Seattle. The reason often cited by Arch for the change of location was they could not
think of a better title than Sleepless in Seattle.
