Henryton Center : <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=39.35333,-76.91528+(Henryton+State+Hospital)&hl=en&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=17&ll=39.35358,-76.915058&spn=0.005011,0.010042&t=h&iwloc=addr" target="_blank">Henryton State Hospital Center</a> was built in 1923 for the care of African-American tuberculosis patients. It started with a single building; additional structures were added through the 1960s, and there are now a total of 18 buildings in the complex. With the development of drugs for TB in the middle of the 20th century <a href="http://www.lung.ca/tb/tbhistory/sanatoriums/end.html">sanatoriums like this were closed</a>. Henryton was transferred to the Department of Mental Hygiene in 1963 and began to operate a training and habilitation program for severely and profoundly retarded ambulatory adults. The facility was closed in 1985, and has been vacant ever since. It is on 52 acres of beautiful woods, and state has tried to sell the property several times. But the buildings are full of asbestos in the floor tiles, ceiling tiles, and insulation in walls and around pipes, so razing or renovating the buildings would be prohibitively expensive. The state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene had been maintaining the property at a cost of $100,000 a year. Security efforts were ended in 2001. By now, in 2007, the complex has been extensively vandalized, and the DHMH property report states that vandals "are gradually destroying what remains of the buildings."
