50 = ST. 1osKPHs HOSPITAL. ;.
The only Catholic institution in the North
Division that escaped the great fro was the st.
Joseph Hospital, which is not very well known
to the public, On account OF it's comparatively
recent erection and out-of-the-wny location Its
history, however, ia as interesting as it is con-
cise. In 1869 few Sisters Of Charity Tere sent

burg, Md, and opened, in the suburb of Lake
View, what Was known as the Providence
Hospital Tho building was 3 small wooden

August. 1871, the cornerstone q : the present
was laid by Bishop Foley, in the presence Of a
large concourrs OF spectators and all the Catho-
| lie Societies of the city. The work was rnpidly
proceeded with and about one year ago tho Sisters

basement in height, eurmounted by 1fansard
roof. The style OF architecture is q pleasing
! mixture of Gothic and Roman, with the former
predominahng. The main entrance opens on
Sophia street. The interior arrangements wero

the uses to which the building WAS to be devot-
cd. Tho basement is used for boiler-rooms and
refectory; the second and third stories arc
divided into wards and private apartments, and
mud
apartments set aside for those who may happen
to be- temporarily delirious. The interior is de-
void OF all int1icacies in the way Of narrow

eight beds, the charges are 90 per week every

arc :: eighteen private rooms,: tastefully
and comfortably furnished, and these
