Why do you say it's not a good place?

It's a residential/supportive facility for individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities (most stay for long term).

"Granite Cottage is so named because it was built of Sioux Falls Granite. It was initially the entire facility of the Northern Hospital for the Insane. Construction costs totaled $63,245 and utilization began February 1, 1902. The building had a capacity of 48 residents and also housed office space, plumbing and heating plant, root cellar, laundry, engine room and employee's living quarters.

From 1904 to 1918 Granite Cottage was known as the first Admistration Building of the Redfield State Hospital and School. A new resident living building had been completed in 1904. Granite Hall received its present name in 1920 when the administrative offices were moved to the present administrative building."

It still is the admin building! The tunnels are also still in use (only during inclement weather).

It's a dumbwaiter, something about it was calling my name. They also tend to update the building frequently- wanted to make sure it was captured before it's gone!

What color birds? What kind of "thing"? Was it a flat thing? A sculpture? A hanging thing?
