Experienced Developer Opportunity | Adaptive Reuse Restoration Potential | Neighborhood-Anchor Asset

The Old Griffin Hospital, built circa 1910 in Griffin (Spalding County), Georgia, is a historically significant medical facility that also served as a nurses’ dormitory and personal care facility. The property presents clear redevelopment promise: a vacant, deteriorating asset with substantial historic character—and a strong likelihood for value creation through rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, and neighborhood stabilization.

The property is currently owned by the Griffin-Spaulding County Land Bank Authority who is now accepting proposals for future development. Please Find the RFP for 522 Meriwether St Redevelopment listed below.

This property is protected by a historic preservation easement held by The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation to ensure its historic character is preserved and is sold “As-Is, Where-Is.” It may not be moved or demolished, and all rehabilitation work must comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
