Resources[edit]

The long, strange and sometimes disturbing history of this facility motivates me to get an article started. Here are some quick online resources I have found:

Hospital[edit]

Should this really be called a hospital? Especially a psychiatric hospital? It may have been such at first, but by 2000, developmental disabilities would not be equated with mental illness. Wouldn't it be more properly considered a school? I haven't looked closely at the available categories. Katr67 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, if anything it did have a hospital or clinic on site.--Trashbag (talk) 18:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If anything by the 1950's it was going by the name "Fairview Hospital and Training Center." So it was going under that guise for quite a while. --Trashbag (talk) 18:18, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cottage industries trivia[edit]

My mom worked a rotation here and at the OSH when she was in nurse's training. I have some linen placemats she made from linen cloth manufactured by the students at Fairview--apparently one of their cottage industries was a weaving shop. I've tried to follow up on learning more about this and never got very far. This was in the mid 1950s. Since Fairview was once like its own little town, this is one of the many details that should be added to the article eventually. Katr67 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Refs for expansion[edit]

Pringle Creek Community
Google News search--lots of court cases...
I'm not getting much from the Statesman-Journal archives, though I know there have been numerous stories over the past several years...
Where's Molly? press page
S-J story about Fairview keys used as part of "Salmon in the City" art project
Google search, "Pringle Creek" +Fairview

Series of article reprints (great stuff!)

Probably should go ahead and link this in els pending use as refs...

Destruction by fire -- January 27th, 2010[edit]

http://salem-news.com/articles/january272010/fire.php --24.20.129.18 (talk) 07:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A slightly more reliable source - though they really need a copy editor. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AM--They outsource that now. Anyway, to the anon, it was only one building--"Fairview", or what's left of it, is more than one building. Might be worth a mention in the article, though if the building were torn down in the course of redevelopment it likely wouldn't. I can't tell but I don't think it's one of the historic buildings. Encyclopedia-worthiness of this is a tossup. Katr67 (talk) 15:56, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added a reference to which cottage burned in the article. KGW mentioned the cottage by name twice this morning on air. Unfortunately they only have the video from last night up on their website... --Trashbag (talk) 16:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks! Katr67 (talk) 17:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, KGW also mentioned this article. Don't they have any idea who writes these things? ;) Katr67 (talk) 17:15, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to KGW: "The building was described on the public-source website Wikipedia as a former home to the developmentally disabled before housing Oregon Insane Asylum inmates." Um, does it say that? Katr67 (talk) 17:21, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently we screen our stuff better then they do ;-D --Trashbag (talk) 18:28, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a somewhat Ouroboros-like moment. Surreal. Too bad these places don't have a staff of nitpicky editors like we do! tedder (talk) 18:50, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
