Opened on January 16, 1843, the Utica Psychiatric Center in Utica, New York was the state's first publicly funded institution designed to treat the mentally ill and among the earliest of its kind in the United States. Designed by Captain William Clarke in the Greek Revival style, its construction was financed through state funding and local contributions from Utica residents. Originally named the New York State Lunatic Asylum at Utica, the facility operated as a psychiatric hospital until 1977, when its last patients were transferred elsewhere. The building now serves as a records archive for the New York State Office of Mental Health and stands on the campus of the Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center alongside newer medical facilities. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989, the structure is also listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the New York State Register of Historic Places.
