Description
The massive Building ‘C’ of the old Jersey City Medical Center complex was constructed with the aid of federal Public Works Administration (PWA) funds during the Great Depression. The building, which mirrored the center’s primary Medical Building (and to which it was connected with a four-story wing), housed administrative offices, a general hospital and kitchen facilities. It abuts Beacon Way within the larger medical Center complex and possesses some Deco ornamentation.
Building ‘C’ was constructed ca. 1938-1941. It now serves as part of the privately-owned Beacon residential complex.

Does anyone know if there are any records available for someone treated by Sister Kenny when it was using BS Pollak Hospital in Jersey City , New Jersey?
So, where are the baby records kept from Marget Haugue hospital? Are there any baby records left from 1964 and how do I get a copy? Can my PA PCP doctor order copies for me? I would like to have copies of my birth chart as it was lost the only copies my m9m had when moving from one place to another. Julia T.
