Another Lincoln County Hospital report! As with many hospitals which are very old and are constantly changing and evolving, being demolished and rebuilt to cater to modern needs, it is difficult to find a lot of information regarding these buildings without searching the local archives. However, I believe Lincoln County Hospital dates back to 1777, but what you see here is a newer hospital, built on a different site, and opened in 1878, although a plaque we found would suggest the wing we explored opened in 1885 (for infectious diseases).
As far as I can tell, this wing (the West Wing?) closed around 1993.

Still attached to an active wing, there is a lot of smoke damage. I wonder how serious a fire it was, when it was, and if the adjacent live wards had to be evacuated ?!

Lovingly explored with Skin, Cuban and Muse.
