Cuckoo’s Nest Hospital to be Torn Down

Oregon State Hospital, the mental institution where the 1975 movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was filmed, is making way for a new complex. Most of the dilapidated, 125-year-old main building will be torn down and replaced starting this fall.

There’s nothing to the rumor that a giant pillow will be used to demolish the building.
