Description

Kendall's story is a piece of a mosaic as intricate as St. Fillan's stained glass windows. Dr. Macauley MacLaren, hopeful that the new methods of Freud would cure his mother's madness, founded the hospital, named for the patron saint of the insane, in 1898. The looming Victorian holds secrets, set in its shadows a century ago. Exploitation and experimentation, as old as the lobotomy and as new as managed care, add color to the completed mosaic. This particular painted lady is an eerie place, where things go bump in the night and staff and patients alike have an unfortunate propensity for a premature demise.
