The Saskatchewan Hospital
|
|
The Saskatchewan Hospital was a non-designated heritage property that overlooked the North Saskatchewan River near the City of North Battleford. Located on 65 hectares of land, the property comprised a 34-building complex, including an 18,000-m2, three-storey, brick hospital built in 1913. Designed by Toronto architectural firm Darling and Pearson, the hospital was the largest building in the province after the Legislative Building. Built on a scenic spot above the river valley, the buildings and grounds provided a tranquil, secluded, self-sufficient community where doctors, staff and patients lived and worked. It was once considered one of the finest institutions of its kind in Canada. The hospital ceased operations with the opening of a new facility in 2019 and was demolished in 2021. The heritage value of the Saskatchewan Hospital resided in its association with the modernization of psychiatric care in Saskatchewan. Long-time superintendent, Dr. James MacNeill, brought a progressive approach to mental illness and patient care in Saskatchewan. MacNeill considered mental illness to be a treatable medical condition and worked tirelessly towards its de criminalization. In 1922, his efforts led the provincial government to de-criminalize insanity, legally redefining it as a medical condition. The Saskatchewan Hospital is also associated with the development of Saskatchewan's Registered Psychiatric Nurses training program, which grew out a training program introduced by Dr. MacNeill . Further heritage value was found in its architecture, which reflected a variety of styles typically seen in public institutions in the early 20th century, including Italianate, Late Gothic Revival and Stripped Classical. |
