I showed the institutional care building which is being partly demolished last week. This week there is a glimpse of the administration building which will be kept. I particularly like the five narrow windows with the sandstone frames.

Institutional Building
Built little more than 135 years ago, this building has served as a place for people with disabilities due to age, illness or congenital conditions. The level of care depended on the spirit of the time, some times were better than others. It is now being transformed into residential apartments. Some building will stay, some are being demolished.
The house facade, a combination of clinker in two colours, dates the building. The geometrical patterns are typical of the late 19th century as are the sandstone frames around the windows.
The walled up windows have been so for ages, most of the glass panes have been broken, I’ll keep watching what will remain.

Half Demolition, Half Renovation
This old building and the surrounding area is being renewed – some of the old building is being torn down, some of them are kept.
