If it turns out you need the old TB hospital you may have more trouble finding someone who can help you, but in that case I'd start with the Public Health Dept of the state, which would mean calling Springfield. Good luck.--Melinda (mental health employee from Missouri) Alton Mental Health Center Thomas H. Johnson 4500 College Avenue<<<<< Thank you for your help, and suggestions. Cathy
