Scope and content
Mary Bridge Children's Hospital's central supply room and sterilizing equipment. The room is pristine, white, almost glossy with its stainless steel sterilizing equipment and terrazzo floor. The hospital contained the most modern equipment available, all sized to treat children. The $800,000 hospital was made possible through donations from the W.R. Rust trust and the estate of Dr. A.W. Bridge. The hospital would not have been built without the dedicated volunteer time and persistence of the Tacoma Orthopedic Association and its guilds. Countless monetary donations from the generous citizens of Pierce County made possible all the latest technological equipment and the thoughtful extras that made it a welcoming place for children. The guild members also hand sewed most fabric items used by the children. (TNT 3/27/1955, pg. A13- A17)
