This historic photo is of the Â鶹AV General Hospital which opened on April 2, 1908.
At the time there was a 19-bed capacity and a staff of four. It was built on a 12-acre site donated by the Â鶹AV Land and Orchard Company, and financed by the Â鶹AV Hospital Society with funds of approximately $5000.
The first addition to the hospital, a maternity wing, was constructed in 1914 on the south side of the original building with a bed capacity of 29.
In 1940, a three-storey concrete hospital was constructed in front of the original hospital buildings at a cost of $140 000.
The photo and historical information was posted to the Facebook page Old Â鶹AV.
