Interiors of Wood Convalescent Home. In late 1956, the former John S. Baker home became the Wood Convalescent Home. Built in 1887 in the Queen Anne style of architecture, the rest home had semi-private rooms with hospital-style beds and modern trays. Comfortable period furniture was available for either patient or guest. The Wood Convalescent Home was owned and operated by Agnes H. Wood. It had room for 34 beds and each bed was equipped with a modern buzzer button to summon nurses. Three sitting rooms were provided for quiet visits from guests or just relaxing. Patients enjoyed 24 hour patient care and visitors were welcome at any time. Remodeling was done by Cameron Construction Co. Photograph ordered by Wood Convalescent Home. (TNT 12-2-56, B-13)
