Exterior Tacoma General Hospital. The Tacoma General Hospital has had a long history of service to the local community. Built in 1914 by J.E. Bonnell contractors and designed by Heath & Gove, the multi-storied hospital now at 315 Martin Luther King Jr Way has undergone many changes. First named after Fannie Paddock, wife of Episopal Bishop John Paddock, the hospital was first built on North Starr St., the second Fannie Paddock hospital was located on South "J" and finally had its name changed to Tacoma General in 1912 along with a new hospital. New wings were added in subsequent years. View of then "K" Street entrance to Tacoma General was taken in October, 1954. (Martin: Tacoma: A Pictorial History, p. 29)
