November

A real shame to see such a Grand Old Lady like this in such bad shape. Some times I think it would be best to put them out of their misery!!

from this shot it just looks like some new windows and grafitti removal would make this wonderful old building esier to look at

I would love to commission an architect to design a building
like this.
However I'm in a big money crunch.

Tom Waits anyone?

To bad they never finished the condos. What a great building it would be to live in. A circular living room would be fun to decorate. And the outside of the building would be wonderful to see every day when you returned home.

i'm not sure where this information is coming from, but i live in that area and the rounded out building was used for training nurses in the early 1910's. they are going to restore that building now i think. as for the big square building next to it, it used to be a hospital until the late 80's i think. suprisingly, there was actually a guy recently who got busted for renting the rooms out to people illegally because this building was abandoned by the city. i tried to go in and explore, but the lights were all on and there was a guy at the front desk. i guess he's on trial now. there have been many deals made to convert that hospital, but they all fell through. mostly because it's very hard to convert one bedroom hospital rooms into condos, etc
