Somehow, I knew those big old buildings were a sanitorium - they reminded me of the old abandoned buildings at Springfield Hospital in Sykesville. Luckily, the county is gradually rehabbing them. I hope the same thing is done at South Mountain.

I'm sorry to hear of the osteoporosis, but really glad you're enjoying the back roads and sending us pictures once again.

By the way, did you know that two female designers are chiefly responsible for the "masculine swagger" of the interior and exterior of the Z4, per "The Week" magazine? What a great looking car!

It is now The Manor at Perry Village and is a retirement home, but no longer owned by Tressler (now Diakon as it became in a merger). I have worked there for 11 years. The old building has since been (sadly) destroyed. The site is currently used as a garage/repair center which is why you saw the trucks in front during your visit.
Here are some links that may interest you.
