I did a google search for you.

Evansville State Hospital (then pic of the building)
Pictures of an abandoned Insane Asylum in Evansville, Indiana. Also called Southern Indiana Hospital for the Insane and Woodmere.

Evansville State Hospital
aka Southern Indiana Hospital for the Insane, "Woodmere"

Evansville State Hospital (1890-present - formerly Southern Indiana Hospital for the Insane)A general treatment facility with a long, rich history. Dupped "Woodmere", Evansville provided solitude and peace for mentally-ill patients. While Central State Hospital was a progressive force in scientific medicine in the early 20th century, Evansville remained largely a custodial institution.

Some sites pertaining to abandoned asylums show it, yet others seem to infer that it's still in operation under the Evansville name. Unless there was more than one by that name...

IF you'd like to see the results, then copy paste the lines below individually into search engine:

"Evansville State Hospital "

"Southern Indiana Hospital for the Insane"


I hope this leads you on your way to acquiring the records you desire...
