Bloomington (IN) Republican Progress, Apr 20, 1887, p. 3.

As will be seen by reference to an advertisement in today's paper, bids are
to be received at the auditor's office, June 1st, for the building of a
poor asylum. This insurance on the burned structure has been compromised
at $3,281.56, and $2,000 of this amount was paid down. The plans for the
new buldings will show them to be two one-story houses, joined by a
hallway. The buildings will be constructed of brick, with tin or iron
roof, and the whole to be heated with a furnace. A great improvement will
be made over the old building in many ways.
