The Manor.
Built in 1887, Wingsgate Manor was not originally a mental institution. It simply started off as a large and stately family home for the also large and stately Wingsgate family. George Wingsgate, his wife Beatrice and their 5 children, Not to mention the large array of house staff. Tragedy hit, however, in 1899 tragedy struck and George fell gravely ill, dying just a few days later. With the finances starting to slip, Beatrice could do nothing but open up their home to the mentally ill. The place was renovated and changed from Wingsgate Manor to Wingsgate Asylum. Shortly after the renovation, Beatrice killed herself. Whether this was from the grief of losing her husband or her once outstanding, socialite reputation and fortunate; It is unknown. Who knows? Maybe the madness that emits from the asylum was what caused her to tie that noose.
Now a days, The Manor is split in multiple different parts, Only keeping part of its original, indoor charm in the west wing which the Wingsgates keep as their home and where several suites have been set up for Staff who need a place to live. The rest has been stripped and replaced with tiled walls and stone floors. Security doors padded cells. Cages and buzzing, flickering lights. Such a waste of a beautiful building.
The grounds are surrounded by high, concrete security fencing with both razor wire and electricity and a high security gate to prevent any escapes. All staff members will be provided with access passes and visitors will have to go through a lengthy application process to receive one use day passes. Cameras are at every angle both inside and outside the facility, assuring the incarceration of all patients.
