I would love a copy of the photograph of Olive Mount Hospital, the photo with the Hospital buildings behind the Mansion House. I worked there from 1989 till it closed in 1991. In the photo is two of the buildings that I worked in Elder House immediately behind to the right of the Mansion House (Hospital Administration/Dr's/Kitchen/Staff Dining Room) and Activity Unit in the far right of the photo. The Hospital was a residential hospital for adults with learning disabilities when I worked there and had been for many years. It's original use was Cottage Homes for Poor Children and later became a Childrens Hospital, then finally for Adults with Disabilities.
