Alhough I have a hard time believing its fair market value (as the ad states), $1 is quite a bargain. It&#8217;s too bad &#8220;a plan for development and [...]]]></description>

Lightning is the suspected source of a fire causing &#8220;substantial damage&#8221; to the Saint Elizabeths Kirkbride building in Washington DC. You can read about it here: Fire Breaks Out at St. E&#8217;s. Another source confirms it: Old SE D.C. Hospital Complex Catches Fire.
I don&#8217;t know much about this yet, but I&#8217;ll post more information as [...]]]></description>

As has long been suspected, the Chinese language immersion school that was supposed to take over the Fergus Falls Kirkbride is just not going to happen. Redevelopment of other buildings on the property is moving forward, but there are no plans in the works for the Kirkbride. Demolition is the only option on the table. [...]]]></description>

The Greystone Park Kirkbride building&#8217;s future just got a little brighter. A special task force charged with developing a preservation plan for the building was just established by a bill that passed New Jersey&#8217;s state senate by a vote of 38 to 0 yesterday! The bill was sponsored by New Jersey state senator Bill Codey. [...]]]></description>

I recently came into possession of a small booklet about the Brattleboro Retreat which was published in 1931. The booklet contains the hospital&#8217;s history and lots of photographs, but what I found most interesting was the drawing above. That is, of course, the Retreat&#8217;s main building which I would call a Kirkbride (albeit a small [...]]]></description>
