Description
General Description
Historic maps indicate the existence of a cross-gable frame building northeast of the hospital complex that was demolished during the construction of the LaGarde Building between 1903 and 1914. The date of construction of this building is unknown, but appears in historic maps between 1873 and 1877. This particular section of the Home's property may yet retain intact archeological remains dating to the prehistoric and historic periods.
