The Powell Building at Central State Hospital near Milledgeville was the original building of the Georgia Lunatic Asylum when it first opened in 1842. Named after Superintendent Theophilus O. Powell (1837–1907), the building's role changed multiple times over its long history, most recently serving as an administrative center for Central State Hospital.
