I received these fantastic photos from Steven J. Calabro from Chesterfield, Virginia, son of the late Ruth & Dr. Frank Calabro. I'm simply amazed at the stuff that is out there. What is in your scrapbook or attic?

STEVE ALSO SENT THESE TWO SHOTS FROM THE EARLY 50's OF HIS GRANDFATHER'S HOSPITAL

 

Serving the community as a hospital, I can personally vouch for what a great community asset it was, thanks to the efforts of the Calabro Family. It was also historical landmark (built in the 1700's) and like the Woodhull & Knapp mansions such a crime for the town to abandon, let it get ruined & then get torched
