Northern Michigan Asylum (Traverse City State Hospital)
Building 22
Building 22 (Men's Dining Hall/Auditorium) is located in the
southern cottage area at the former Traverse City State Hospital
grounds. It is located between cottages 28 and
40, and is connected to
both buildings. It bears little resemblance to the other cottages of
the area. Its sister building was located between two cottages in the
north (women's) cottage area, but this was demolished to make way for
a road in the mid 1990s.
Some of the only interior space in the old buildings which might be
suitable for auditoriums or classrooms in a re-use plan is located in
this building.
However, it is currently designated for demolition.
