EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Central Administration Pavilion of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, taken in 1922. Founded by Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Thomas Bond in 1751, this hospital holds the distinction of being the first to open its doors in the American colonies. The architectural genius behind this magnificent building is Samuel Rhoads. The image captures the grandeur of this historic healthcare institution, nestled amidst a picturesque landscape. The curved driveway leading up to the pavilion adds a touch of elegance to its overall design, reflecting the architectural style prevalent during that era. As one gazes at this monochrome masterpiece, it transports us back to a time when healthcare was still evolving and hospitals were rare entities. This photograph serves as a testament to America's rich medical history and highlights how far we have come since then. The Central Administration Pavilion stands tall as an emblem of progress and dedication towards providing quality care for those in need. Its timeless beauty resonates with viewers today just as it did almost a century ago. This remarkable print from The Architectural Forum Volume XXXVII allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also reminds us of Benjamin Franklin's visionary spirit that continues to shape our nation's healthcare system even today.
