It was a matter of time, but the old buildings at 12101 Lima Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana are in the process of meeting their end.
Demolition began on December 12, 2022, starting with the eastern-most and newest building in the complex, which was most recently the Byron Health Center. It was demolished starting at the southern end first, with the north end finally on the ground by December 16, 2022.
December 17, 2022, BELOW: The notable absence of the Byron Health Center, demolished entirely as of this morning. The structure in the center, jutting out toward where the Byron Health Center formerly stood, is the adjoining hallway that linked the newer Byron Health Center to the east (front) with the older Allen County Infirmary/Poor Farm to the west (behind).
December 21, 2022, BELOW: The connection between the old Allen County Infirmary/Poor Farm and the Byron Health Center has been demolished, exposing for the first time in decades the original remnants of the front facade of the Allen County Infirmary/Poor Farm.
