Administrative History

The people photographed in this album were doctors and nurses at a hospital in Danville, Virginia during the 1930s. The hospital is most likely the Memorial Hospital or Community Hopsital in Danville, Virginia. The Memorial Hospital was built after John Edward Hughes, a wealthy tobacco dealer, left $250,000 in his will to build a new hospital in 1922. The Community Hospital was built in 1919 and owned by Dr. Thomas W. Edmunds, who sold it to Memorial Hospital in 1929.
