LOUISVILLE - Renovations have started on the old U.S. Marine Hospital, a 19th-century structure that survived tornadoes and flooding until being abandoned 30 years ago. Metro Mayor Jerry Abramson said it was no coincidence that work began on Veterans Day.

"Many vets spent their days recuperating from injuries here before there was a Veterans Administration" or a VA hospital, Abramson said at a ceremony Friday marking the renovation's start.

The three-story structure was built between 1845 and 1852 for what Congress described as "the benefit of sick seamen, boatmen and other navigators on the western rivers and lakes."
