Mega Kirkbride “Discovered”

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Super Mega Kirkbride Building width=
This morning someone who wishes to remain anonymous emailed me about a Kirkbride building that’s still in use and is absolutely enormous! When I looked up the address on Google maps and took a look at the satellite view, I couldn’t believe my eyes. As you can see for yourself, this monster had seven wing sections off either side of the admin. That a Kirkbride of this magnitude has flown under the radar for so long is almost unbelievable. More about this amazing find later when I learn more details.

UPDATE: Note the date this post was made (April 1st).
