This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

AKA the Old Folks Home, Poor House, etc. (I never heard of Almshouse) This building still stands. The cemetery that was used for the people that died there is still there but the markers are gone. When they closed the Infrimary (in the 50's I think), the Four Square Gospel Church bought the property and operated a Bible College there until 1988. It is now part of a Golf Course. It is only used at Halloween time as a ghost house. I have recent pictures of this building if it is the one for which you are searching.
