I just watched the movie "The Institute" starring James Franco. It was very interesting and it was based off of the true story of the Rosewood Center who was caught trafficking female patients to rich benefactors.

They finally closed 2009. But...

On January 15, 2008, the state of Maryland announced that Rosewood would be closed in the near future, and the center began the process of transferring residents to other facilities.[1] It finally closed on June 30, 2009.

The movie takes place in the 1800s and is very satanic. It involves MKultra, gaslighting, abuse, etc. There were sacrafices(some mock) programming,etc. James Franco was the I suppose you could say 'evil doctor'. It talks about the short story "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. And here is it being explained in this. It is about a secret society called the Aconite Society, and it mentions how there are many pawns at one point. Also how the inner members of the society(i.e. the highest up) are hiding. Aconitum aka wolfsbane, devil's helmet, queen of all poisons among others is, as the latter name suggests, a poison. They use the poison in small amounts to help control the patients and mold them.

Rosewood Center in Owings Mills, MD, formerly known as The Asylum and Training School for the Feeble Minded of the State of Maryland, was established in 1888. This institution provided care, education, training, and habilitation of developmentally disabled children. It admitted it's first patients in 1889. From 1912-1961 it was known as Rosewood State Training School. In 1958 Rosewood established the Institute for Children which provided intensive inpatient psychiatric treatment for emotionally ill children. The children were admitted up to their 13th birth date. In 1961 the name changed to Rosewood State Hospital. In 1969 the Hospital was renamed Rosewood Center. Rosewood Center continues to provide care for the state's developmentally disabled citizens.

I cannot find the page http://www.dhmh.state.md.us/dda/rosewood/index.html on this Anyway, here is more on the Rosewood Center-

The training served another purpose as well, as the Board often displayed an almost obsessive desire to have the asylum be self-supporting. Much of the food was grown or raised on the surrounding farm and virtually all the clothes and table linen were made by the girls. All laundry and cleaning was done by the inmates and their labor was even used during the excavations for new buildings in 1892 and 1900. The farm continued in operation until the 1960s.

An obsessive desire to be self-supporting. That way no one could check up on them, they would be private and using their own funds. If they used other funds, they would be checked on whenever as the money would be the states.

From 1911 to 1933, some of Baltimore’s most prominent bluebloods legally removed patients from the institution to use for slave labor. (The matriarchs of said aristocrats had apparently previously complained about how expensive help was those days.)

Not to mince words here: we're talking about a legal human trafficking operation.

These patients (mostly girls and women, but a few lucky boys were on the roster as well) resided at Rosewood from 5 to 30 years before the onset of faux-liberations. Rumor has it patients were reportedly well-treated at the facility, and not capable of adequately taking care of themselves outside the institution. The patients had no prior knowledge of the writs (court orders) to "check them out" until they were summoned before the court to be released to the custody of people they’d. never. met.

After a psychiatrist exposed the scheme to the media, the nation (obviously) devoured salacious reports of how Baltimore’s elite had so sinisterly abused these vulnerable patients.

What was the nature of this evil? For more than 20 years, some of Baltimore’s wealthiest and most established families had been helping themselves to the institutionalized patients at Rosewood. They’d been “adopting” these mentally challenged girls and women only to turn them into their own private slaves.

The families of these patients weren’t told about their releases; many, of course, had dumped their unwanted relatives at the facility long before and weren’t likely to care.

The Henry King Cottage was completed in 1912 along with the Lane Building and Central Building. The three buildings were the first at Rosewood Center to be designed by the architectural firm of Emmart and Ellicott, who replaced Jackson C. Gott as architect at Rosewood in 1904. The firm adhered to the plan of Rosewood as prepared by Gott in 1899 and the design and appearance...

Pembroke Cottage is the oldest building at Rosewood as well as the first to be built after the founding of the Maryland State Asylum and Training School for the Feeble Minded in 1888. http://archive.is/0xBZC more on Pembroke

The Maintenance Buildings at Rosewood are a group of four buildings not connected with the medical activities at the facility. They range in date from the early 1900s to the 1940s and are located north of the power plant and the Kitchen Building. These buildings include: the Fire House (1913), the Farmer's Cottage (1920), the Laundry and Garage (1941 by architect Henry Powell Hopkins) and the Maintenance (Key) Shop (1920s}.

The Gundry Cottage was the oldest building at Rosewood and the only one which pre-existed the founding of Rosewood in 1888.

Owned formerly by Dr. Wood

This building was soon named Gundry Cottage after Dr, Richard Gundry, the first superintendent of the asylum and was in use until razed in 1960. Until 1905 it served as the Administration Building

In 1889 the Board decided to enlarge the building by adding a dining room wing, exercise room and dormitory space at a cost of $1,849, The design of the addition is attributed to the architect J, Crawford Neilson. When Pembroke Cottage was completed in f892, the male patients were moved out of Gundry Cottage into the new building Gundry remained a girls dormitory for most of its history,

It is, or was 683 acres. " The buildings at Rosewood exemplify the work of several Maryland architects prominent in the period, including J. Crawford Nielson, Jackson C. Gott, the firm of Ellicott and Emmart, and Henry Powell Hopkins" The board wanted several buildings.

"Fornal complexes of buildings were seen at the Columbian Exposition in 1893 and in the McMillan COIIIIli.ssion's designs for the Mall in Washington, D.C., and were probably influential in the design of Rosewood"

In my opinion, the fact a design from DC was influential in the design is interesting to say the least. Gott was dismissed in 1904.

"In 1900, contracts were awarded by the architect to the builder John Cowan for the construction of two new buildings at Rosewood. The first, named Stump Cottage, was built to house seventy-five "high-grade" male patients and was completed in late 1901 at a cost of $20,383.41"

High grade?

"In his place the Board selected the well-known firm of Ellicott and En:mart from Baltimore. William B. Ellicott, the senior member, began professional practice in Portland, Oregon. Joining with William En:mart in 1901, he designed a number of buildings in Baltimore, including St. David's Episcopal Church and the Colonial Trust Building. After his retirement in 1917, he worked actively for the establish- ment of a comprehensive Maryland State Plan and is credited as being responsible for the creation by the U.S. Congress in 1926 of the National Capitol Park and Planning Conmission. William En:mart, a native of Baltimore, served as President of the Baltimore Architects Club for IIRilY years before and continued in practice through 1919" "In 1939 the C. Lyon Rogers Hospital was completed, making it the largest building at Rosewood"

They had a lot of buildings it seems. Including a pig shed, incinerator and more.
