Description

This mystery building, and the adjacent land, was the site of Henrietta Dismukes Hospital and Nurses’ Home, one of the largest privately owned African American hospitals in the country. 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.

Project Summary

MCC Appalachia Build (formerly SWAP) is a home repair ministry program in eastern Kentucky and West Virginia. Volunteers help families make their homes safe, warm and dry, while building relationships and learning about Appalachia.
