Eloise Psychiatric Hospital was a large complex located in Westland, Michigan.

Starting out as a poor house and farm, it eventually developed into an asylum, sanatorium and hospital.

In 1979 it was officially called Wayne County General Hospital with the psychiatric division closing in 1982.

The Black Horse Tavern, which served as a stagecoach stop between Detroit and Chicago, was located on the property.

[1] The log cabin, which was formerly the Black Horse Tavern, became the keeper's quarters, and in 1839 an A-frame building was put up to house the inmates — more appropriately termed, by today's standards, patients.

An A-frame cookhouse was erected in the back of the log building and was used for cooking by the inmates, the staff and the keeper's family.

It included a bakery, amusement hall, laundry facility, post office and a power plant.

[6] It also housed the first kidney dialysis unit in the State of Michigan and pioneered the use of music therapy.

There were other well-known people who died at Eloise including several baseball players, among them Jul Kustus, Larry LeJeune, Charlie Krause and Marty Kavanagh.

It was used for psychiatric admissions, housed 400 patients and had living quarters for some employees like the Catholic chaplain.

The bakery was heavily damaged by arson in April 2016, with charred ruins still standing as of March 16, 2021.

It is located near the northwest end of the former Eloise property, just southeast of the intersection of Merriman and Palmer Roads.

The film stars Eliza Dushku, Robert Patrick, Chace Crawford, Brandon T. Jackson, Nicole Forester, and P. J. Byrne.
