Allentown State Hospital
Pennsylvania, United States · built 1912
Allentown State Hospital was a psychiatric hospital located at 1600 Hanover Avenue in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It served Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, Monroe, Pike, and occasionally eastern Schuylkill counties in the Lehigh Valley and Northestern regions of Pennsylvania. The hospital, which was one of seven psychiatric hospitals in Pennsylvania, was mostly demolished on December 28, 2020, though two buildings of the hospital remain. Those buildings currently house the nerve center for Community Services for Children, an organization responsible for the local Head Start and Early Head Start programs to support children throughout Pennsylvania.
