Very interesting article! I was born at Firmin Desloge Hospital in 1955. Like me, I'm happy it's still standing!

Informative story. I worked at Deaconess Hospital from 1970 to 1972 and still know people who worked there and/or graduated from their nursing school. I have a couple of stories about Deaconess at lewcamp35.substack.com. If you want more information let me know. Thanks for your work.

The design and architecture of these buildings is stunning. It's a shame so many of them got torn down over time. Thanks for sharing the history!
