See it while you still can...

This is not a house but an old hospital. In fact, it was the first public hospital in the city of Danville dating all the way back to 1903! It hasn't been used as a hospital in ages and a fire that occured over 14 years ago has really done a number on the building. Recently the City has decided to tear it down, however not everyone is happy about it. It looks like it was once a beautiful building, but it really needs a good bit of money if it is ever going to be liveable/useable again.

The orange sign states that it is scheduled for demolition. It's really unfortunate to see some of this great architecture go down to rubble. The biggest reason? No one has the money to do what needs to be done. Danville has architecture that could rival Savannah, GA or Charleston, SC. The main difference is that those cities have huge tourism dollars flowing in to see it and Danville doesn't.
