This 1970's photo of the original Lawrence Memorial Hospital building (built with Elizabeth Watkins funds in 1921) in contrast to today's brand new 4th Street Health Plaza which is connected to the ever evolving LMH. The old photo shows the front entrance & goldfish pond. The goldfish pond was a great "child friendly" feature since children were not allowed to visit patients and were sequestered to the lobby while mom and dad went to visit. I remember being especially intrigued by the frozen fish in the winter. You could even see them slowly breathing under the ice! Great memories. Photo by Belinda Rehmer
