Public Buildings (Mercy Hospital)

Colorized image of the first Mercy Hospital, which opened July 15, 1921 in the Baron family homestead which was enlarged and remodeled to accommodate twenty-seven beds. John Baron had deeded the property on Kinney's Lane for the location of a hospital. In January 1923 construction of the new five story 50-bed building was begun. After additions and expansions in the 50's and 60's, the building was razed in 2001.
