Description: Good Samaritan Hospital was started in 1852 by the Sister of Charity for the Saint John's Hospital for Invalids and was located in and old school building at the corner of Broadway Street and Woodward Street. They then moved to a larger building located at 3rd Street and Plum Street and called Saint John's Hospital. In 1866, money was donated for the sisters to buy the old Marine Hospital at Locke Street and Sixth Streets. The building in this photograph (ca. 1935-1943) is of the then newer facility that was completed in 1915 in the Cincinnati area of Clifton. Two wings were added in 1926, which were replaced in 1982. 1927 and 1945 saw additions to the nurses residences, to accommodate the nursing school which became the nursing department for the College of Mount Saint Joseph.

Description: This photograph shows an aerial view of Columbus State Hospital, which was located on West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio. Situated in a large wooded area, the hospital campus consisted of a central facility with many interconnected wings and several outbuildings. The Columbus State Hospital, a facility for the care and treatment of mentally ill people, admitted its first patient in 1877. This facility replaced the Ohio Lunatic Asylum, which the Ohio General Assembly established in 1835. The asylum's board of trustees chose a 64-acre site on East Broad Street in Columbus. Erected primarily by the labor of Ohio Penitentiary convicts, the hospital received its first patients in November 1838. (The Ohio Lunatic Asylum had replaced the Commercial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum at Cincinnati, established in 1821, as the state mental institution.) Built with a capacity for 150 patients, the Ohio Lunatic Asylum soon became overcrowded. Part of the hospital was destroyed by fire in November 1868. In April 1869 the legislature laid plans for a new structure to accommodate 500 patients. The new hospital, built on the "Kirkbride Plan," was under construction from 1870 to 1877. The structure represented the largest single public capital investment by the State of Ohio up to that time, with the exception of the Statehouse. The main building contained over 800 rooms and was said to be the largest building under one roof until the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., was constructed. In 1996, after years of neglect, the Administration Building was demolished. Over the decades, these two facilities operated under various names: Ohio Lunatic Asylum, Central Ohio Lunatic Asylum, Central Ohio Hospital for the Insane, Columbus Hospital for the Insane, and Columbus State Hospital.
