The building pictured above,
which was formerly a private hos
pital. was acquired by the Diocese
of Savannah-Atlanta in 1938 and
since July of that year has been
operated as St. Mary’s Hospital by
the Missionary Sisters of the Most
Sacred Heart of Jesus. A four-story
wing added to the rear of the build
ing in 1941, and another four-story
addition made to the hospital it
were made necessary by increasing
| demands on the hospital for its ser-
! vices. An imposing Southern eol-
| onial style residence, which faces
on Meigs Street, and which is con
nected with the hospital by an en-
{closed passage way. serves as a
j convent for the Sisters who staff
the hospital and St. Joseph’s
School. Three residences on the
block surrounding the hospital are
; used as nurses' homes and two cot
tages, adjoining the hospital, on
j Milledge Avenue, are used as doc-
| tors’ office buildings. In their years
of devoted service to the people of
the Athens area, they have not only
demonstrated their ability as hospi
tal admiinstrators but have proven
“good will ambassadors” of the
Catholic Church in a dominantly
non-Catholic community.
