The Allan Memorial Institute
The Allan Memorial Institute of the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal was inaugurated in 1944. It "marked the launching of a modern Department of Psychiatry by McGill and the Royal Vic. The Hospital would be responsible for patient care, while the teaching and research would be under control of the University"1.
"The ornate building that was to be the nucleus of a rapidly expanding Institute was formerly a mansion called Ravenscrag. Clinging to the mountainside only a few hundred feet west of the Hospital, it had been the home of shipping tycoon Sir Hugh Allan"2.
