County transfers its interest from burned nursing home
By DANI BLACKBURN
Montague County Commissioners approved the transfer of the title to the old Bellmire Nursing Home facility to the City of Bowie during a July 24 meeting.
The nursing home facility, located at 1101 Rock Street in Bowie, caught fire New Year’s Eve night.
Firefighters battled the blaze that engulfed the 30,000-square-foot L-shaped building into the early hours of the New Year.
Unfortunately the property recently was struck off and sold in a tax sale, ending up with the three taxing entities of the county, Bowie ISD and City of Bowie. The county agreed to transfer its interest so the city can demolish it and then possibly the property.
