Weston, West Virginia is also home to the former Weston State Hospital. Weston State Hospital, formerly known as the Trans-Allegheny Asylum for the Insane, is an empty building located near the West Fork of the Monongahela River in Weston. Empty since 1994 when a new mental health facility, the William R. Sharpe, Jr. Hospital was built nearby, the building is being considered of adaptive reuse and historic preservation.

The Hospital building is an example of the skills of its architect, R. Snowden Andrews, and of the Irish, Scottish, and German craftsmen who carved its stone. It is considered to be representative of the development of mental health care in America.
