A similar but not identical unumbered image to 17405_1 from this assignment appears on page 62 of William D. Jones' "Motor Cars and Serv-Us Stations". Book caption reads : "Ambulances at Hoquiam General Hospital on Sixth and K Streets. July 1940."
Thanks to Sam Talley who notes: "The Hoquiam General Hospital, located at 7th and K St., was opened in the early 1900's by Dr. Horace Campbell. It is uncertain when it ceased operating as a hospital. It was across from the Hoquiam Library near the Elks Club. This writer's friend Timothy Barnes came to Hoquiam in 1941 when his father Dr. Percy L. Barnes took residence in the top floor of the hospital. By that time, only the 1st floor was in use for treating emergencies and Rayonier mill personnel. The hospital later closed and was converted into the Evergreen Apts."
