For anyone who has driven down Seven Mile Road in the last 15 years, one thing has stood out – the old, abandoned psychiatric hospital property. To many, the buildings on the property are a sign of the past and have been an eye-sore and an attractive nuisance. The plans are finally in place to remove the tallest building - the old patient ward. Please see the
