Buchanan County Infirmary

The Buchanan County Infirmary, also known as Buchanan County Poor Farm and Green Acres, is a historic hospital building in St. Joseph, Missouri, built in 1919. This two-story, F-shaped Classical Revival-style structure features a fireproof concrete design, brick walls, and a distinctive cross-hip roof with red ceramic tiles. Its impressive central porch is supported by four full-height Doric columns, adding to its architectural significance. As the last remaining building of the Buchanan County Poor Farm, it was recognized for its historical importance and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, making it a noteworthy site for tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
