The other one is from the Eastover/Frontage corner, and I think it was just simply luck–in and out as quick as possible. Of course this was 3 years ago. As far as I know, the property is not in fact yet private, but maybe the money and paperwork has finally changed hands.

I went down there back here in May and I got treated to a security guard telling me it was private property and to stay off.

My interest in the campus stems from the fact that a distant relative on my father’s side of the family was an opthamologist and served as Superintendent of the school in the late 1800′s into the early 1900′s. His name was Dr. Walter Scott Sims. The campus still has beautiful grounds. It’s a shame that the state can’t make some use of the property.
