History
Current use
When the hospital was closed in 1977, the large parcel of 8.35 acres, where the hospital was located, was leased to Pine Bluff Estates, LLC on the ground rent system from the State of Maryland. A large retirement apartment complex was constructed. The property was later sold to Pine Bluff Associates, LLP in 2012.
The smallest parcel has been vacant since 2011. It contains an office building built in 1935. It was leased for years by the local nonprofit, MAC, Inc., an agency to maintain active citizens.
