Dix Hill

"Dix Hill" is the informal name for a high, rolling expanse of land in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Dorothea Dix Hospital, a historic institution caring for the mentally ill, is located on the site.

The hospital grounds at one time included 2,354 acres, but the great majority of the land has been sold off, and, in the last two decades, developed into North Carolina State University's "Centennial Campus," the state Farmer's Market and other projects.

Dix Hospital is slated to be closed by the state by 2008, and the fate of the remaining 306 acres is under discussion in state and local circles.
