History
The Randolph County Poorhouse was constructed in 1899. The facility contained a pump house, a barn, a hay barn, a machine shed, a garage or cell house, two garages, and a chicken house. The property contains a cemetery, 230 yards northwest of the county home. In 2015 the building was to be purchased by Adam Kimmell and Dann Allen under the ownership of their LLC. Agreed to by the county commissioners. Unfortunately, Dann sneakily put his name instead of the LLC name and violated the contract.
