Thanks go out to Steve Bockmiller, Development Planner with the City of Hagerstown, for these images from the 1800s. Time travel back to this stately presence on “hospital hill.”
Hagerstown
The Hospital’s Original Location
On October 26, 1905, Washington County Hospital opened in the old M.P. Moller residence at the corner of Potomac and Fairground Avenues. The hospital housed ten beds. Patients were cared for by six members of the hospital staff and twelve physicians. During the first year of operation, 106 patients were admitted. The average cost per day to the patient was $2.39. |
