cembly added $4,000 and a handsome
brick dormitory GO feet 4 inches long
by AZ feet 6 inches in depth, was built
during the year 1894 and opened for
occupancy January 1, 1895, under the
supervisor of Mrs. NJ A. Reed, which
has proven popular and very bene-
ficent provision for dependent moth
ers, widows and wives of the old sol.
diers. This building was furnished al.
most entirely by the Womans Relief
Corps.
The New Hospital. E
But by far the most important and
useful addition made to the home was
the building of the new hospital during
the year 1896, made possible by an APP
preparation of $4,000 by the Twenty
sixth general assembly. This building,
which is of cut stone foundation and
trimmings, with superstructnre of
pressed brick, is a handsome building
architecturally, excellently adapted in
every particular to the purposes to
which it is devoted. 1t has a south
frontage, with total length of 228
feet; the central part is ITO feet in
depth and the wings 25 feet wide. Ev-
cry one of it's ITO beds has window,
the ventilation is excellent; the nurses
are women, and in charge of Miss Isa-
bel Jarvis, graduate of one of the
best training schools. 1t is bright, well
conducted and cheerful as it is posi-
BILE for a hospital to be. To the build
ing committee, S. B. Evans (deceased),
G. L.. Godfrey and L. B. Raymond,
much credit is due for the excellence
of this structure. The old hospital is
now utilized as an additional dormi--
tory, thus materially increasing the ca
pacity of the home
Old Peoples Building.
Largely through the efforts of the
Woman's Relief Corps g. A. R., an ap-
preparation of $4,000 was made by the
Twenty-eighth general assembly for an
old peoples building, which was par
TALLY built, and to this amount the
Tweaty-ninth general assembly added
$4,000 for completing and furnishing
the building.
The grouping of the buildings of the
home gives a pleasing effect The
main building occupies on eminence
near the north side of the tract of 1873
| acres, donated for the site by the city
of Marshalltown. Back of this build
ing the land slopes to the north line
which lies along the Iowa river where
there is a fringe of timber To the rear
of the building are the storage building
and vegetable cellar, the main heating
and lighting plant, the hose house and
the barn. Thanking the main dorm-
| tory on the street running west, are
the cottages and south of them is the
woman's dormitory, the hall for female
help and the new hospital. Farther
| south, forming the west line of the
| broad rectangle in front of the main
building, are placed the residences Of
| the quartermaster and adjutant. East
of the main building is placed the old
| hospital building, now used as dormi,
| tory for old men, and farther along the
old peoples building. In front of these
on the east side, of the court is the
| headquarters building and the resi-.
dences of the surgeon and the com
mandant. The cemetery is on thu
east side of the grounds.
