Thanks for sharing the pictures. I was born in that hospital and remember it as we would drive to that part of town when I was a child.

I remember the old Mercy in it’s glory days, my dad was in there a couple of times and I went to the ER there at least once when I was a kid. I also had surgery in the new Mercy in September 1974, it had only been open a few months and all around it were empty fields. We couldn’t imagine why they would build a hospital so far out in the middle of nothing…….now we know why!

Thanks Steve!

Just goes to show the dangers of completely removing structures then letting the land sit vacant for years, if not decades: Instead of a neighborhood glad to see the blight removed and replaced with great new development of similar density, they become accustomed to a nice empty lot then complain if anything other than expensive, low-density homes are built in it’s place.

Geez, who would want to tear that down just to build a new urban residential area with some space for retail… animals.
