All of the locals on here will already know about
this, but I thought it would be good to let some of
our out-of-townies know what's going on in Lafayette
right now.
Greater Lafayette Health Services has asked the city
for permission to demolish the 1897 wing of St.
Elizabeth Hospital, as well as the Sisters of St.
Francis building across the street that formerly
housed the School of Nursing.
These are two of the oldest hospital buildings left
standing in the city of Lafayette. For them to tear
down these buildings would be a travesty and I think
we all need to let them know what we think of their
proposal.
If you disagree with the destruction of these
beautiful buildings (which by the way are both
currently being used by the hospital and therefore
would have to eventually be replaced at the expense of
the patients) please take the time to let the people
at the hospital know what you think.
They can be reached by e-mail or phone at:
pr(a)glhsi.org
or
1-800-371-6011 (this is a general information line for
the hospital)
Help fight the destruction of our community's history!
Thanks,
Lena
