"The Asylum for the Insane was known as Central State(in 1950's & 60's) on Murfreesboro Road."
-Harrison Fisher

The Insane Hospital is actually located on the street I live on. County Hospital Road was Asylum Road
because it deadended into what is now Bordeaux Hospital but was then the County Asylum for the
Insane. The name was changed for obvious reasons as the community of Bordeaux grew.
