Description
By the time SWAP acquired the land, the building that was once a hospital, and later apartment complex, had burned down. The building that remains had served as the nurses’ home. This original sign was found in the attic of the nurses’ home by Lee Martin, SWAP Kimball location coordinator, on December 22, 2020.
