The Batavia Institute is a Registered Historic Place located in Batavia, Il. Originally a school; it then became a sanitarium from 1867 to 1965, treating many notable people including Mary Todd Lincoln. In the 1960s, the building was remodeled to house the Fox Hill Home, a residential therapeutic facility for adolescent girls.cite web|title=National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form|url=http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/hargis/PDFs/200722.pdf|publisher=Illinois Historic Preservation Agency|work=HAARGIS Database|format=PDF|accessdate=2007-08-04] The Fox Hill Home operated into the 1970s when the building fell into disrepair.
