  • LoriAnn Takes a Summer Stroll Back to SJV

MAKING A VISIT
TO THE SITE

We regret that the Village site has been demolished and is no longer available to visit in any state that resembles its rich past.  See the full story [Here].               

As of this date the site is an active construction site with round the clock security guards. After demolision, new construction will continue on the site to build a new health care facility. We do not incourage tressapesing. 

StJosephsVillage.com, with the help of a few photographers, is bringing you as much content about the site as is legally possible. To see the site during demolision and any future activity on the site, see "the Final Chapter." An alternative way to tour the Village would be to see or Virtual Tour of the Village Today.  [take tour]
