The large facility closed in 1968 and was sold to private ownership. The front of the complex was severely damaged by fire in the late 1980s and its upper floors were removed. The complex was also damaged by the 2011 tornado. Marginally in use, the buildings continue to deteriorate.About the Springfield Preservation TrustFounded in 1972, the Springfield Preservation Trust strives to preserve and protect properties in Springfield that have architectural or historic significance.
