The Works Progress Administration built the Pima County Hospital in Tucson. The 30,000-square feet facility was laid out in four distinct units. It consisted of an “administration building which included doctors’ offices, lecture room, major and minor operating rooms, sterilizing facilities, the men’s ward, women’s ward; children’s and maternity wards; therapeutic ward, nurses’ home,” among others uses.
The exact location and condition of this facility is unknown to the Living New Deal.

Please, could someone tell me when this hospital was built? I was born there in 1949. Thank you.
It is now the site of the Food City Grocery Store on 6th Avenue, Tucson, Arizona.
