The Almshouse - Endangered Maryland (sitios de interés)

Listed in 2010 the Almshouse in Hagerstown is a rare surviving example of a purpose-built Almshouse from the turn of the 19th century in Maryland. By 1880, with the opening of the Bellevue Asylum, the property no longer served its original use and became residences and offices. In 1994, the vacant Almshouse was purchased by the City of Hagerstown. A marker was  installed outside the building relating the history of the site. UPDATE: The City has mothballed the building to protect it against further deterioration and designated it a landmark.
