Description
The children’s solarium at Mercy Hospital at 4001 J Street is shown in this circa 1928 photograph. The tile work, located just below the room’s windows, was printed to show familiar figures from the Mother Goose rhymes. Located in the northwest wing’s second floor, the pediatric department was designed to accommodate fourteen children at a time with each enjoying a room of their own. The department was staffed by twelve sisters and rooms were designed to enable children to communicate with one another through small doors that were set into room partitions.
