Norwalk Hall was a male staff and Psychiatric Aid residence at a Connecticut State Hospital. Each room on the lower floors of the Hall were approximately 8ft x 10ft and contained a bed, rocking chair, desk, lockable closet, dresser, mirror and sink. The third floor rooms were much harder to come by and were reserved for the veteran staff.

Norwich State Hospital was established as a psychiatric hospital in 1904 in Preston Connecticut. It was the second public mental asylum for the state and opened with only 95 patients. Within a few years, the need for more buildings grew. The campus continued to grow and eventually contained 30+ buildings.
