Former Shriners Hospital in Lexington sells for $10 million

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – After nearly four years on the market, the former Shriners Hospital on Richmond Road in Lexington has been sold, according to a post on the Facebook page of Fayette PVA David O’Neill.

The post says the property was sold to the Kentucky Easter Seal Society for $10 million.

Officials say the facility is expected to be used as a hospital again, but no word yet on when it’s expected to be in operation.

The Shriners Hospital in the 1900 block of Richmond Road closed when a new $47 million Shriners Hospitals for Children Medical Center opened on the UK HealthCare campus  at the corner of South Limestone Street and Conn Terrace in 2017.
