Recent Events and Actions Taken

  • The newest building, a tower comprising the largest component of Millard Fillmore Gates Circle's hospital complex, was demolished by implosion in Fall 2015.
  • The building complex failed to receive federal historic preservation designation/protection. Mike Puma put the reasons for this decision concisely: "The National Park Service considered the hospital one building. When the majority of that building was demolished, in their opinion it lost too much historic fabric for the remainder to qualify."
