Well, it only took me 5 months, but I promised I’d return and I did! After scouting out most of what remains of the Irene Byron Sanatorium site back in July, I was finally able to return to this location to photograph the only remaining building from the original sanatorium/hospital complex! (If you missed the original post, find it here).
On a 28-degree day (Fahrenheit, that is), I ventured for a walk around the fenced-off building that sits to the far west of the property, secluded in derilection until its demolition day arrives. But until then, a walk through time. Join me?
With the building as thoroughly photographed as possible, I venture east toward Lima Road for a look at the final standing structure on Sanatorium property — a tiny building that previously sheltered visitors awaiting the arrival of the Interurban train, which ran from Fort Wayne north to Huntertown and beyond.
Thus concludes another borderline-legal, short-lived walk through a place that will soon live only in memory. Thanks for strolling with me and farewell til our next adventure.
