It's a shame how run down it's been looking lately though.<br /><br />Next time you're downtown, check out the DMV in the old hospital. They have some great plaster carvings of hospital scenes near the entrance.Watch Me Eathttp://watch-me-eat.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-31678536503665972812010-01-03T15:35:43.727-05:002010-01-03T15:35:43.727-05:00I'd love to see the inside too.

But it IS off the main drag in Sanford, somewhat, so it can be a bit hard to spot if you're not looking for it. <br /><br />For a good while this has been home to a catering business - it makes me curious as to what the inside looks like.Decrepit Telephonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702592848508905557noreply@blogger.com
