The Topeka State Hospital, a publicly funded institution for the care and treatment of the mentally ill in Topeka, Kansas, was in operation from 1872 to 1997. Located at 2700 W 6th Street, the hospital opened in 1879 after the Osawatomie State Hospital, once thought to be sufficient, became overcrowded with mentally ill inmates.
