PAINTINGS 

These oil paintings were photographed years ago. They hung in a conference room at the Manhattan Metropolitan Hospital. Long neglected, they were in fragile shape and I am not sure if they are still existing.

Draper Hall, the residence for nurses and student nurses

This scene depicts the Sacred Heart Church which was adjacent to Metropolitan Hospital.

Holy Spirit Chapel opened in the late 1920’s for the patients and staff of the adjacent Metropolitan Hospital

The road in front of Metropolitan Hospital

Originally the Homeopathic Hospital on Ward’s Island, the Hospital relocated to Blackwell’s Island in 1895 and was re-named Metropolitan Hospital. It again relocated to Manhattan in 1955 and is still a general hospital at 97th Street and First Avenue.

MARY HOGAN, R.N.

The Directory of the Alumnae Association.  This is a valuable resource to the inquiries we receive.  We know little of Miss Hogan from our records. She was treasurer of the Alumnae Association for  year and went to conventions on nursing.  We assume she did not marry. Maybe we will find out more.  

Mary Hogan spent her career at Met. Photo above is of nurses from the hospital outside Staff Housing.

In 1932, Miss Hogan retired from the Met.
