Smith Infirmary Damaged in Hurricane Irene

Published on: November 6th, 2011 | Last updated: May 26, 2020 | Written by:

It seems the old Smith Infirmary lost a large chunk of it’s roof as a direct aftermath of Hurricane Irene. At least that’s what’s being said online.

Here’s a photo from above in 2008 – as you can see the roof was still very much intact. Post Irene, the roof was severely damaged. With significant roof damage, the overall decay of this building will increase at a faster rate.

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.
