Title	Mercy Hospital as Viewed from the Southeast
Date	1928
Creator	Frederick Foto Service
Description	This circa 1928 photograph reveals Mercy Hospital at 4001 J Street, as viewed from the southeast. Yet another monumental design by Sacramento architect Rudolph Herold, Mercy was considered a model of modernity. X-ray facilities, sound absorbing linoleum floors, windows that allowed filtered light into operating rooms, advanced forms of sanitation, and electric powered washing and drying machines made Sacramentans look at the new facility as a sign of marked progress for their city. So desired was a facility like Mercy that the February 7, 1925, “Sacramento Bee,” called it “a jump from the medieval to the modern, some might say the super modern.” Mercy’s opening made a total of three hospitals in Sacramento, in addition to Sutter and Sacramento County.
