Had I not been in a hurry I would have turned around and come back to explore the grounds. I was immediately intrigued by the structure. I'm so glad I stumbled on this website during my search for it's history. Since no one else has mentioned it, the facility is to be used by Lorain County to address the growing opioid epidemic as a recovery and treatment facility. Here are links to 2 articles pertaining to the project: <br /><br />http://www.chroniclet.com/Local-News/2018/02/08/Lorain-County-partners-planning-opioid-recoverty-facility.html <br /><br />and <br /><br />http://www.chroniclet.com/Local-News/2018/09/27/Bids-to-go-out-soon-on-facility-for-Recovery-One.html<br /><br />You may have to copy/paste the URL if the links don't work. So the facility will continue to be used to house and help those who aren't well. I think that's a fitting outcome! Now, does anyone know how to get a tour of the building?

We lived on the grounds in that little building that housed the boiler room, upstairs. So many memories, I was between ages 4 and 11 or 12. The building was glorious. I remember it would turn a bit of a gray color at times, then they would sandblast it and it would return to the amazing sandstone hues. I've been reading about it's closure from San Diego, and also felt worried that it would just be torn down, probably to build some cheap big box retail buildings with zero character. I remember sledding on the hill every year, and skating on the pond. People would build a bonfire in the middle where there was a mini-island. such a unique place to grow up, just magical.Iris Siefertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-2193412178978552912017-09-24T18:24:30.251-04:002017-09-24T18:24:30.251-04:00I just photographed it as well.

I have lived out of state for over half my life, seen architecture all around the world, built some great buildings myself and still marvel at how this building always moves me with its simultaneous simplicity and complexity.

Do you know who the architect of this unique art deco structure was? I know a developer who specializes in adaptive reuse of historic structures and want to tell him about the property.
