Group at old Sacred Heart Hospital …
This group has nurses, nuns and ” Waves / Wacs ” ( not really sure ) in it, so this photo must have been made during WW II. You see the Red Cross flag pinned-up to the wall in the background, so maybe this was some type of enlistment / recruitment meeting. I just thought it was an interesting photo. Thanks for looking …
Playing Ball …
Here are some kids playing ball in the park that is diagonal from the hospital. The park is named ” Cordova Square ” and I posted a image of it covered in snow several posts back. This photo was made in the mid-1930’s and I have several different versions worked up of this same print. I will post some of them in the near future. The baseball diamond was taken down in the 1940’s sometime and I have a story to share about that and I’ll do that when I post the photo. Notice how the dog is right there in the game! Thanks for looking …
Nurses at old Sacred Heart Horpital …
Just a group of nurses at the old Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola Florida. No names of nurses and no date. Not sure of the area of the hospital that this was taken in, but it could be in the recovery room? It could be the operating room, but I sort of doubt it. And I also do not have a date, but I am going to say late 1930’s or earl 1940’s. Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome …
Nurse with Newborn …
This nurse and newborn were in the old Sacred Heart Hospital sometime back in the 1950’s. I do not have any information about who the nurse or the baby were … the baby looks small, but clean and healthy. If anyone recognizes the nurse, please let me hear from you. Thanks for looking …
Cochise at Sacred Heart Hospital …
Since is another of ” Cochise ” when he visited Pensacola many years ago. Here he is at the old Sacred Heart Hospital with a group of nurses. It looks as if these girls might have been collecting money for something … I think these are Golden Bear Ice Creme containers. You have to admit one thing … Michael Ansara ” Cochise ” was sure a good sport! He really seems to be enjoying himself in the photos that my father made of him. If anyone remembers when he was here and met him, I would be interested in hearing what you have to say and I am sure there are a lot of others too. I will post some other photos of him later. Thanks for looking …
Nuns Out Front …
This is my all time favorite photo ( or at least in a group of 10 or so ) only because I was born here in this hospital back in 1953. I had posted this image up on the old site and I do not think I had that many comments on this image. Now, granted, I do not get too many visitors to this site since I have never advertised it anywhere, however, I thought with how many people were born here over 50 years or so I would have had a few reminisce their memories. And also with all of the nurses that had gone through nursing school at the hospital, I would have had a few mention their story, but no such luck. Maybe this time I will get a few stories … Thanks
Old Sacred Heart Hospital in the Early 1940’s …
I am not sure of the exact yeay this was made … I want to say 1941 or 42, but I have no idea. Maybe if someone could identify the cars in the photo, we could pin it down. I posted an aerial photo earlier that my dad had made back in the 1930’s and you did not see a parking lot across from the hospital. Also, note all of the trees out front of the hospital. I posted an exterior view several posts back and it did not have all of this foliage. As usual, all comments are welcomed …
Old Sacred Heart Hospital …
This is just another exterior view of the hospital that my father made. I thought this was one that had the nuns out front on the lawn, but I was mistaken … however, it still is a nice view, so I thought that I would leave it in. Thanks for looking.
Operating Room at Old Sacred Heart Hospital …
I do not know if this photograph was ” set-up ” or if this was an actual surgery. Look at the knife that the nurse or doctor is using on the patient … I used to have a scuba diving knife that looked better that the knife she is using. I do not have any information on this photo, I just think that it looks interesting, scarey, but interesting. I had my tonsils removed at the old hospital back in 1959 and I can remember it very vividly. Back in those days, they dropped ether to put you to sleep. I can remember a nurse standing over me, placing a mask over my nose and telling me to count backwards from 25. When I hit 10 I thought that I was going to throw-up and when I hit 5, I was out!
If anyone wants to share their old Sacred Heart hospital memories, you are more than welcome to here …
Ambulance / Hearse at Old Sacred Heart Hospital …
My father made this photograph in back of the old Sacred Heart Hospital sometime in the late 1930’s or early 1940’s. This circular drive way is still at the old hospital today. You can see a sign in the second window that says ” Morris Funeral Home ” and in the third window ” Ambulance ” is written on the glass. So my guess is that this vehicle stayed pretty busy back in it’s day. The photo was in very bad shape and it took me quite a while to repair the image. It also had been posted on the old site, but it did not have the matting around the image. I was surprised that it did not generate any comments from anyone, since it is such an unusual image. No idea who the nurse is in the photo … notice how she is wearing her cap at such an angle – I am sure it has something to do with style and attitude and not uniform regulation!
Any and all comments are welcome … I would be interested in knowing from anyone if the ambulance / hearse was backed up the area that was the entrance to the morgue. I believe that the entrance to the emergency room would have been located to the left of the front on the vehicle, because I can remember going down into the emergency room as a kid and it was not was not where this vehicle is located. Thanks for looking …
