    Old asylums decay, but some eye pricey restoration (AP)

    The main building at The Ridges in Athens, Ohio, on June 23, 2008, now houses an art museum. It was designed in the 1870s as a mental institution  with the belief that the architecture would help treat the mentally ill.

(AP photo/Kevin Riddell)AP - Equal parts graceful and eerie, massive brick and stone asylums once loomed over towns from Maine to California as the 19th century's ideal for the humane treatment of the mentally ill.
