Porirua Lunatic Asylum (alternates: Porirua Asylum, Porirua Hospital, Porirua Psychiatric Hospital; currently: Porirua Hospital Museum) was a psychiatric hospital located in Porirua. Established in 1887, it was at one time the largest hospital in New Zealand.[1] The patients ranged from those with psychotic illnesses, to the senile, or alcoholics. History{{Quote box| quote ="It was not really barbaric - they were not shut in and forgotten - they were moved to a clean room every twelve hours - there was no medication - there was nothing else we could do." (Nurse Helen Reilly Ngaere Thompson) | source =[2] | width =25% | align =right }} Land was acquired in 1884 for a hospital farm that would offer 'work therapy' to relieve overcrowding at Wellington's Mount View Lunatic Asylum.[2] Construction of a one storied {{convert|7000|sqft}} building containing 24 apartments, H Ward, began in 1886. Porirua Lunatic Asylum, as it was originally named,[3] was opened in the following year and Dr. Thomas Radford King was appointed as its medical superintendent, though in less than a year, he was replaced by Dr. Gray Hassell.[4] By 1905, Porirua Hospital had 700 beds.[5] In the early 1900s, the facility had 2000 staff and patients, affording a major effect on the Wellington Region's development. By 1928, nurses moved into their own two-store, 100 room building. The resident population was 1,500 in the 1940s.[6] After the 1942 Wairarapa earthquakes, 800 patients had to be moved to other hospitals.[7] Subsequently the main building was demolished and eleven new villas were constructed. Most patients were released into community-based care in the 1970s, and the last ward, F Ward was closed in 1977, considered unfit and uneconomical. In 1980, the Puketiro Centre operated as a regional base for children with developmental problems. In 1987, the hospital celebrated its 100-year anniversary, opening the Porirua Hospital Museum in F Ward.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pcc.govt.nz/About-Porirua/Porirua-s-heritage/Porirua-s-suburbs/Porirua-City-Centre--Elsdon-and-Takapuwahia/History-of-health-care-in-Porirua|title=The History of Health Care in Porirua|publisher=Porirua City Council |accessdate=4 September 2011}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.poriruahospitalmuseum.org.nz/chronology-of-events|title=Chronology Of Events|work=poriruahospitalmuseum.org.nz|accessdate=4 September 2011}} 3. ^{{cite book|author=Australasian Medical Association|title=Australasian medical gazette: the journal of the Australasian branches of the British Medical Association|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_UkDAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA208|accessdate=4 September 2011|edition=Now in the public domain.|year=1887|publisher=L.
