The front part of the building, built in 1922 was the home of Fitzgibbon Hospital. In 1954 the back expansion was built. In 1991, the new hospital was built. While the building has had a couple owners since then, the greater part of the hospital has not been touched since the hospital left. When Yoh-Ohanlon purchased the hospital, curtains were still hanging to separate the beds, plastic tubs and trash cans were strategically placed to catch the drips from the leaking roof. Some renovations happened in the oldest part of the building adding central heat and air, and a portion of the basement was renovated to house the Head Start Program which has been a tenant of the building for the last 11 years. A few other offices have been leased here and there, but for the most part, the building has sat empty and lifeless, except for the stories of an occasional ghost or two.

In 2004 the building was purchased by husband and wife team Pat O’Hanlon & Dee Yoh and everything began to change.
