Here is a bio from the Catholic Guide of 1916 describing St. Mary of Nazareth
"St. Mary of Nazareth Hospital, which is conducted by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, was founded in 1894. It is a massive fireproof structure six stories high. The building and grounds occupy an entire block, bounded by Leavitt and Thomas Streets and Haddou and Oakley Avenues"
"The main building in which all the patients are treated in so far removed from the streets that no dust or noise arising from the traffic can enter it. The surroundings are bright and healthful. Indeed, the hospital is so ideally situated that patients recover more quickly here than in hospitals in the crowded sections of the city."
I'm assuming Resurrection Hospital @ Division and Leavitt replaced St. Mary's, but I never realized what a significant structure and complex the old facility was.

Thanks captain54.
Small world story follows:
My daughter happens to live a block or so from that location. Also have a neighbor whose 93 year old aunt, who is a nun, started the nursing program at St. Mary's many years ago.
It's quite a trendy area these days.

Great images!
It appears that St. Mary hospital and nearby St. Elizabeth hospital (where my mother worked while attending Tuley HS) were consolidated by Resurrection. The old St. Elizabeth facility is still there.
