By the 1920s, St. Peter Hospital had outgrown its original location on what’s now Capitol Campus. The second location, a large structure , in West Olympia on Sherman Street, was completed in 1924, and included a nursing school and modern X-ray equipment. In this 1952 photograph, a nurse and Sister of Providence attend a patient. The building is now an apartment complex.
