The cache is a cammo match container. The difficulty is due to the
exposed area of the cache -- be discrete. A pencil is included but
BYOP just in case.
Washington County Memorial Hospital was opened in 1922 the
product of a community effort to pay tribute to the local veterans
of World War I. In 1969, county commissioners leased the equipment
and facilities of Memorial Hospital to Jane Phillips Episcopal
Hospital. The hospital recently released the property back to the
county in hopes that it will be developed into office space.
Across the street to the southeast, you will see the original
Washington County courthouse In 1913, after renting space for six
years, county commissioners began work on a new county courthouse.
Designed by architect P.H. Weathers, the work was completed by the
Inland Construction Company at a cost of $94,750. The structure
combined a unique mixture of architectural elements. The basic
design was Second Renaissance Revival, with distinct horizontal
zones, molded belt courses, rusticated stone finish on the ground
level, and small fourth floor windows. Other elements of design
included the colossal arch over the main entry, decorative touches
of Neo-Classical architecture, and a sweeping staircase leading to
the main entry. The county moved the courthouse to the current
downtown location in 1972. The old building has been renovated and
now serves as an office building.
