Building 88
Old Farmstead, White House, General Hospital
at Traverse City State Hospital
The building now designated Building 88 at the Grand Traverse
Commons is the oldest building in the complex, even predating the
asylum building Building 50 which was
build in 1885. This building used to be where Building 50 is now. It was
a farm house in its original location, but it was later moved in three sections
to its current location at the southeast corner of 11th and Elmwood
Streets so Building 50 could be built on its site.
At one time in its career, this house was the first Munson Hospital. It
now stands unused, but in good shape, in the middle of a row of three
historic houses. Building 88 is in the National Register of Historic
Places.
