Natalie,
Eloise was the county poor house and insane asylum/hospital in Wayne County, Michigan. When established in 1829 it was very rural, actually wilderness, though not now. I did some testing in a 100 by 100 foot portion of the complex a couple years ago and could send you a copy of the report if you're interested. There are some published histories on the complex, which are listed in the report bib.
