The BalconyDISCLAIMERS::My comments and images might be seen, by some, as a little derogatory. This is not my intent.
The Revenuers I encountered there have been extremely professional, friendly and helpful. The did their job by conferring with me as I would have expected. One needs to keep in mind I am a Texican and Texicans seem to have a tendency to state the facts in a manner which enhances the story line.
The images I am showing are from an area on the campus far removed from the hospital. My images are for artistic purposes and are to say nothing about the condition of the location. From my understanding these building are listed on the historic register, therefore they cannot be removed. Considering their apparent age I suspect they contain asbestos which would complicate their removal. The Asbestos, if present, would greatly increase the cost of remodeling, which is currently being undertaken as funds are available. The old pealing paint ( lead based, I suspect ) poses another expensive hazardous waste removal expense. It is a shame to see such architectural masterpieces become downtrodden but such is today's society.
And such it is "Documenting The Human Condition."
