Description
This
photograph
shows
the
Mitchell-Thomas
Hospital
in
Springfield
,
Ohio
.
It
was
Springfield's
first
city
hospital
and
opened
on
December
1
,
1887
. The
hospital
was
located
in a
building
and on a
lot
donated
by
Ross
Mitchell
, a
local
businessman
engaged
in the
manufacture
of
agricultural
products
,
linseed
oil
processing
, and
real
estate
.
Another
prominent
businessman
,
John
H
.
Thomas
,
donated
money
for an
additional
building
,
which
was
connected
to the
Mitchell
building
by an
arcade
. The
hospital
opened
with a
capacity
of
twelve
beds
,
later
increased
to
thirty-one
. By the
turn
of the
twentieth
century
, the
limited
capacity
of the
hospital
combined
with the
noise
and
confusion
of a
location
so
close
to the
railroad
made
a
new
site
desirable
. The
location
chosen
for the
new
Springfield
Free
City
Hospital
had been the
Sharp
family
homestead
,
bounded
by
East
Street
,
York
Street
and
old
Clifton
Road
(now
Selma
Road)
.
It
was on the
crest
of a
hill
,
known
as "
hospital
hill
" for
many
years
after
, and was
said
to be an
old
American
Indian
burial
mound
. The
cornerstone
of the
Springfield
Free
City
Hospital
was
laid
on
June
27
,
1903
and the
new
135-bed
hospital
opened
on
December
19
,
1904
. By the
late
1920s
, the
city
had
again
outgrown
its
hospital
and the
search
began
for a
third
location
. The
southeast
corner
of
High
Street
and
Burnett
Road
was
chosen
and the
hospital
opened
its
doors
on
September
25
,
1932
with
260
beds
. In
1965
the
hospital
was
reorganized
as a
community
non-profit
association
and
became
Community
Hospital
of
Springfield
and
Clark
County
. By
2003
,
additions
had
increased
the
capacity
to
over
300
. This
photograph
is
from the
book
Springfield
Illustrated
,
which
provides
a
written
and
photographic
profile
of the
city
. The
photographs
include
residences
of
prominent
citizens
,
schools
,
churches
,
businesses
, and
street
views
. The
book
is
74
pages
and
measures
9
"
x
12.75
