This large sunny room was once bright and cheerful. It was designed as a space where family and friends could visit the mentally in-firmed at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum; with 4 separate little spaces one could imagine this as a lively and quaint area.
However the patients here did not get many visitors, if any, after they were committed. Mostly the only visitors were gawkers and curiosity seekers who wanted to see the "lunatics of West Virginia"
