Topeka Public Schools Buys Former State Hospital
Topeka Public Schools has officially purchased the former Topeka State Hospital campus: 501 Buys Former State Hospital Land.
As I’ve mentioned before, this will probably lead to the demolition of the remaining piece of Topeka’s Kirkbride. To be fair, I haven’t heard that that’s an absolute fact, but it does appear likely.

there are a few of us that would like to try and save this building. The school board has bought it and is possibly planning on renting it to a film crew to blow it up. This is just not right. i heard it is on a watch list so why can no-one save this beautiful building? Please help!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know whether or not tours are offered of this fantastic building??? Seems to me that would create some great revenue..and I myself would love to see it!
Recently my Uncle discovered that our ancestor was a patient at the Topeka State
Hospital until he died, and we believe he is buried there.
