A view of The Pennsylvania Reform School at Morganza in 1897.[1]
Western State School and Hospital, later known as Western Center, was a state-run mental hospital and reform school near Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. It is best known as an institution serving people with intellectual disabilities. At various times during its existence, it was also known as the Pennsylvania Reform School, Youth Development Center of Canonsburg and The House of Refuge. Locally, it was called Morganza.[1] It was a well-known part of the Canonsburg community, appearing as a stop on tours during community festivals.[2]
The exterior of Western Center's administration building was used as the setting for Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, where Hannibal Lecter was incarcerated, in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs as well as in its 2002 prequel Red Dragon.[3]
