Is the info on this site suppose to be current? If so, it is not. I worked there, and entered many names that were patients of mine years ago, and no data was found on any of them. The picture of the Hospital reminds when the building was torn down. the building was noted on the Historical registry and was unusual in that it was round and was designed that sunlight would be available in the day room all day long. When the building was torn down, it came down was without knowledge or consent and caused some real serious discord in Springfield. The hospital had marble sinks and beautiful pillars around the porch which can be seen in the photo but cannot truly be appreciated from the photo. If traveling to Illinois Veterans home, (formerly known as Soldiers and Sailors Home) the former site of the hospital is now a graveled parking lot, a sorry ending for such a beautiful buidling. ----- Original Message ----- From: <marjer@adams.net> To: <ILADAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2003 5:17 PM Subject: [ILADAMS] Re: Solider and Sailor Home > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Wg.2ADE/3931.1.3.1 > > Message Board Post: > > You can get the Massac County names yourself.
