🏥 An 1885 Michigan asylum now hosts shops and homes. The Traverse City State Hospital opened Nov. 30, 1885 as a sprawling Victorian-era mental asylum. A century later, in 1989, the hospital closed, and the empty complex could’ve decayed – but instead it was saved. Today it’s The Village at Grand Traverse Commons, a bustling site of boutiques, eateries and condos inside the renovated old asylum halls. #traversecity #traversecitymi #michiganders #MichiganHistory #michiganmade | Welcome Home Histo
