1945: Mercer Hospital Celebrates a Silver Anniversary

I love these old photos that show a current thriving institution in the earliest years. Mercer is now a huge hospital and goes by the name of Capital Health System. When the hospital was built in the 1890's the western section of Trenton was an idyllic paradise of tree lined streets
Like most of the cities in the east, the migration of Trentonians to the suburbs dramatically changed the character of the area. I understand there are plans for moving to the suburba.
