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.

SWAP (Sharing With Appalachian People) is a home repair program that uses the efforts of volunteers to address sub-standard housing in eastern Kentucky and West Virginia. A program of MCC Great Lakes, SWAP provides service and learning opportunities for school, university, church, other groups, families, and individuals.
