A residence for people with long-term mental health problems and empty for about 4 years it was up for sale in 2007 by Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust for £750,000. The trust had originally purchased it in the 1980s for nurses' quarters but more recently used as a step on from rehab to move people back into the community, in its 2003/4 report the trust stated it was a temporary closure due to staffing difficulties. It was purchased in 2008 by United Schools Church Trust with the intention to bring it into use for the Lincoln Minster School but £10m spent on the Upper Lindum Street site has left this building in limbo. The first map that the building appears on is 1904/5 and it is not in the 1901 Lincoln Directory so it must have been built in this period in what was the grounds of Eastcliff House.
