McLean Asylum - Charleston, Boston Mass.
Summary
McLean Asylum. Opened Oct. 6, 1818, on Miller's or Cobble Hill, which had been a highly important fortified position in winter of 1775. The hill has now been almost removed for the B. & M. R.R. freight switchyard or "hump." Named for honored merchant, John McLean. One of the early heads of the asylum was Dr. Luther V. Bell, a vestryman of St. John's Church. "Extensive usefulness, superior accommodations, and high reputation have distinguished the asylum" (Hunnewell, p. 85).
