Biographical / Historical

Rhode Island Hospital was founded in 1857 through a bequest from Moses Brown. The hospital's main building was completed around the turn of the century. Today only a small portion of the original buildings and campus remain as a part of the hospital. The creator of this album, G.C. Moore, may have been a doctor or nurse working at the hospital.
