Author Biographical Info

Hermann Hospital was a public hospital endowed by George Hermann (1843-1914) with a fortune accumulated through investments in oil and real estate. The hospital opened south of downtown Houston in the summer of 1925. It merged with Memorial Hospital in 1999 to create Memorial Hermann Health System. The original Spanish-style building is now part of Children's Memorial Hermann in the northwest corner of the Medical Center.

Description

This is a homemade Post Card that was not used. It depicts the side of the newly built Hermann Hospital with a fence around it. There is a man walking away from the fence. Supposedly the fence was put around the construction of the Hospital to keep out the wolves.
