Lapeer, State Home for the Feeble Minded, Administration Building

This was not the only facility with what–in today’s terms–was such an unfortunate name.  One excellent online source tells us:  “A state institution lived here. Born as the Michigan Home for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic in 1895, it died by the name of Oakdale Regional Center for Developmental Disabilities in 1991.”  It was reputed to be the largest such facility in the world, then.  The unused card has aged but is otherwise in fine condition.  Grade: 1
