Gordon Wright helped save cornerstones from the Decker Drive hospital as Baytown proceeds with a $716,482 demolition of the old building and two adjacent structures. The process, ongoing since February 20, includes asbestos abatement and storm water management with a 112 day contract. Wright notes the site’s historic value and hopes plaques or memorials may mark the former hospital location.
