Columbia Friends Gathering received the property from the United Methodists in 2010 and began renovating the building in 2011 under the guidance of Rick Schoolmeester. The Midlands Center had been using the building on occasion for funerals of some patients and to store a few things, but it gradually began to give into decay over the years.
Here are some images of the building before we started renovation.
