Ashmore Estates, Former psychiatric facility in Ashmore, Illinois.
The brick building stands two stories high with Neo-Georgian architectural elements, located near the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad crossing.
Built in 1916 as a replacement for the original Coles County Poor Farm, the facility provided care for individuals in need until 1959.
The property maintains records of 250 former residents from its early period, with a cemetery containing between 60 and 100 unmarked graves.
Visitors need to contact the current owners at 217-899-9978 for permission to access the property at 22645 E Co Rd 1050 N, Ashmore.
The January 2013 windstorm removed the entire roof structure, leading to extensive renovation projects by subsequent owners.
