For about $50,000, you may become the owner of an historic building in Spalding County.
The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation is looking for a preservation-minded buyer to purchase and rehabilitate the Haistens Hospital Building at 522 Meriwether St., Griffin.
This historic building is being sold through the Georgia Trust’s Revolving Fund program which provides effective alternatives to demolition or neglect of architecturally and historically significant properties, according to the Georgia Trust statement.
Protective covenants are attached to the deeds to ensure that the historic integrity of each property is retained.
Constructed in 1910, the Haistens Hospital Building was built to replace an earlier hospital that was demolished to allow for the construction of the Griffin City Hall building.
Not including the rear addition, the 7,000-square-foot building on almost an acre also served as a nurses’ dormitory and a personal care facility.
In 2015, the Haistens Hospital Building was listed as a “Places in Peril ” site by the Georgia Trust.
