The Playground of City Hospital

The Playground of City Hospital
Until late 1909 when Middle House was razed, the Scranton Road campus of City Hospital was home to an assortment of children, ranging from juvenile delinquents to the mental ill to the poor and disabled. This undated photo, which appeared in the 1909 Cleveland Annual Report, shows children playing on a playground located immediately behind City Hospital. Middle House and the rest of the City Infirmary complex are the darker-colored buildings to the left.
