I worked for Kenneth Thompson when he had Nissan car dealership in the old New Altimont Hospital building. He added that front part for showroom. Original hospital rooms were sales offices and my Bookkeeping office was also one of original rooms. Corrinne is Kenneth's sister and I believe if you visited the inside you would remember the brick front of Hospital. He kept the door from Surgery and used it from showroom to Service area and still had word "Surgery" in glass on door. Old hand pull elevator was also still in use at dealership to send parts to the upstairs part of building. Was a very interesting place and had lots of people come in and say they were born there. Kenneth still owns the building I believe.
