Clarke Building at Medfield State Hospital being demolished

Posted on March 13, 2012 | 2 Comments

The Clarke Building at Medfield State Hospital now has a fence around it, which I assume is a prelude to its demolition.  Last Friday when Mike, Kris and I met with DCAM Commissioner Carole Cornelison and her staff at DCAM’s office, they told us that the demolition was going forward.  It had been planned years ago, but apparently got delayed while DCAM was doing the clean up.  I asked why only the Clarke Building was coming down, and was told that DCAM has to deal with Mass Historic to take down any others.

Mike also tells me that the Framingham Police Department will be using the Medfield State Hospital site for exercises soon.

More on our discussions with DCAM will be coming soon.

    Thanks for yet another important update, Pete you have our vote for re-election. What will the Framingham police be doing and will it affect walking/dog walking on the campus?

    Rosemary,
    Mike just told me the the FPD would be there, not what they would be doing and/or when. Personally, I would not let anything effect my dog walking.
