article extracted from Hazleton Standard Speaker, 6 may 1996, p 17

The Laurytown Poor House was created by act of the PA State Legislature in 1855 as a "house of employment." The "potter's field" is pictured in Hazleton Standard Speaker, 6 May 1996, p 17

The first permanent building was constructed in 1857. The name was changed to the District home in 1925 and in 1972 the complex was vacated and patients were transferred to the new county facility, known as Weatherwood. While vacant, the facility was hit by fires on 20 Dec 1976 and again on 10 Mar 1977, after which only the four-story brick building remained. Final demolition was in June, 1977.
