Description
ca. 1880's
Black and white photograph, measuring 8 x 10 inches. The photograph seems to be a reproduction of an earlier image. A large fingerprint has been included as part of this later image, possibly transferred from the original to a spot just to the right of the buildings steeple.
Historical Image Collection, Box 25
Exterior shot of the Good Samaritan Hospital, in its first location at NW 23rd and Marshall Street, Portland, Oregon. This was also the first site of the University of Oregon Medical School: in 1887 a two-room grocery store was purchased with a joint bank note of $1,000 and was moved to property that belonged to Good Samaritan Hospital. The school building held a lecture room on the first floor and a dissecting room above. Cadavers were hauled up through a trap door with a block and tackle. Digital scan produced for the exhibit "Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature" in Fall 2004.
