West Virginia University hosted a lecture Thursday night at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston.
Photographer Chris Payne visited 70 abandoned state hospitals in seven years. TALA dates back to the late 1850s and features a pre-Civil War architecture that's fairly unique.

The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum operated as a state psychiatric hospital from 1864 until 1994.
