St. Louis City Hospital: A History

City Hospital, 1905

This photo comes from Saint Louis and Its Medical Institutions, published in 1910 and available at the Missouri Historical Society Library and Collections Center. These buildings were completed in 1905 and are named simply by letter, from left to right: A (the Pathology Building, replaced in 1961 by the Snodgrass Laboratory), B & C (replaced 1940-2 by the Tower Building), D (the Morgue, demolished in 1970 to make room, for a new emergency room), and E (a dormitory building with chapel demolished in October 2002). The view here is looking slightly northwest. The land in the foreground was where the Administration Building and the East and West Wards would stand after completion in 1910.


Another view of the new hospital buildings, looking northeast from Grattan Street roughly where the Nurses' Building would later stand. (Image from the collection of the St. Louis Building Arts Foundation.)
