This is Yorktown Memorial Hospital at 728 W Main St in Yorktown, Texas. Yorktown Memorial Hospital was built in 1951 and was run by the Felician Sisters of The Roman Catholic Church. It closed as a hospital in 1986, when it became a drug rehab facility until its total decommission in 1992. The Felician Sisters worked alongside the Roman Catholic Church from their founding in 1855. The Felician Sisters were "inspired by the lives of Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Clare, Saint Felix of Cantalic, and Blessed Mary Angela" to help those in need through dutiful service and care. During the Korean War, the idea of building a hospital in Yorktown stemmed from the lack of one in the immediate area, the closest hospital being in San Antonio, Texas. The money used came from fundraisers and donations and grants from companies such as the Ford Motor Company. Today it is rumored to have paranormal activity. Looking southwest. This is the same location as 1985 Film Roll 24 Photo 24-WDE-23 (1985 DeWitt County, TX).
