This add and similar adds appeared in the Kansas City Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Jefferson City Post-Tribune, among others, from 1964 to 1966.

The hospital was built and changed hands and finally became the Medical Center of Independence. It was recently torn down and the city of Independence has offices at the site in an adjoining former medical office.

If I find more information I will post.


Thanks for that, WCHS'59!

Interesting pic, it really caught my design eye. Great looking design. Also, did the hospital ever get built?
Google Maps Street View still shows the building, although it was closed at the time.

Thank you, too, Mad Anthonie. The building still looks fairly good, actually.

Well, not so much today. From Street View go to satellite view. The hospital had sat empty for several years...
