Architecture and Buildings of Delmarva | Deer's Head in Salisbury, MD

This stately old hospital building is located in Salisbury (Wicomico County). Originally constructed during the 1950s it has now been renovated and is used as a nursing home and other medical departments. Unfortunately I have yet to run across anyone who has any real information on it's history and uses through the years.
