Scope and content
This aerial view of the Pierce County Hospital and its surrounding neighborhood was taken in July of 1941. The hospital's new north wing and new west wing were nearing completion. An extra three-mil tax levy was passed in March of 1940 to fund the expansion of the hospital. At the upper left corner is the excavation for the Lincoln Bowl, which was not completed until after WWII. Pierce County took over ownership of the hospital in 2000. (T.Times 7/31/1941 p.5)
