  1. Hey, just to clear something up - as I explained in the blog entry (I hope it was clear?) the LPC considered landmark status for the S. R. Smith Infirmary building back in the 80s, and nothing came of the proceedings. That's why they claim they can't address it now.

    Technically, the building is not landmarked as of present day.

    (But keep your eyes peeled; two landmarked buildings are going to be featured in the next week or so)
