It has a kitchen where the meals were cooked for the patients in the hospital. If converted to a Nursing Home, it can serve the same purpose. The gift shop would be a nice addition to any nursing home. I would keep the old-fashioned phone booth. The rotunda could serve as a log in for visitors to the nursing home. Elevators would serve to take guests to the different floors. I am not sure if there is a laundry in the building of the hospital. I would think so. It has everything a Nursing home could possibly need. Large parking area as well. Some nursing homes have in-house doctors, so the medical areas do not have to be removed. What does everybody think??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883635662668234732.post-37060846320958786252015-12-27T00:44:01.644-08:002015-12-27T00:44:01.644-08:00I read some time ago the Landis Theatre which my b...I read some time ago the Landis Theatre which my brother and I grew up going to every Saturday for their matinees, was headed to the demolition block... and spared. The people in Vineland spoke out. I don't know what the condition of the theater was, but it was salvaged. Also not sure how long it sat vacant. I know I had seen several of the windows had been broken, but thankfully it was salvaged and today it still remains. People contacted the director of economic development of Vineland for help. I imagine if enough people were to contact her again, she might show interest and suggest what or how this "landmark" to many of us, can be salvaged?

It was a great place to live. I was born in this hospital. Two of my friends mothers worked in here as Nurses. Has anybody given a thought as to what will happen to Mr. Newcomb should this hospital be demolished? I was stunned to see it was empty last trip to Vineland. We need to save this property.
