Description
A since-demolished hospital at what was then North Texas State College received an addition constructed with federal Public Works Administration (P.W.A.) funds. The P.W.A. provided $11,000 for the project, which was dedicated on April 27, 1937.
The location was the northwest corner of what are now Union Cir. with S. Welch St. [at Chestnut St].
