Overbrook

Hurd & Sutton, New Jersey Chapter, American Institute of Architects.

The building facilities of the newly designed were considered state-of-the-art and sought to balance recreation and rehabilitation.  Overbrook also aimed to move away from the earlier asylum model to a more theraputic and clinical approach championed by hospitals at the time.  The architecture of this facility was designed with these goals in mind.
