"Author Bruce J. Annett, Jr. did a remarkable and thorough job researching the history of Clinton Valley Center, from it's inception in the early 1870's through the 1900's. There is much information about the design of the "asylum" and construction details, and information on the many prominent people that were involved with the hospital's development and growth. In it's 104 pages, this book contains about 150 images, many of which date back to 1900 or before, including exterior and interior views.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Clinton Valley Center and it's history, the history of Oakland County, Michigan and the Pontiac area, architectural history, and anyone interested in late nineteenth and early twentieth century institutional care."
