View of the east facade of the three-story brick hospital with its Richardsonian Romanesque arched stone entrance and Roman Catholic cross-topped turrets. The hilltop location on the corner of Western Avenue and S. 23rd Street includes its looped drive, grounds and the power building's chimney towering over a bank of trees on the right. A dwelling, across Western Avenue, is on the left. Opening its doors to the public on September 28, 1899, the new hospital was designed by Manitowoc architect C.H. Tegen.  In the late 1890's, Manitowoc was a rapidly growing maritime port city in need of a large, modern medical facility.  With encouragement and financial support from city leaders, the sisters of Holy Family Convent, the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity, acquired land that had been Gerpheide's Park for the construction of a hospital.  With a capacity of 75 beds at its inception, the staff included seven sisters, one lay nurse and three physicians.  It was open to all and was a station of the U. S. Marine Hospital Service welcoming seamen of Manitowoc and vicinity.  After more than seven decades of service, the building was considered to be inadequate for modern health care needs.  It was razed in 1973 with the exception of the first floor, which was given a new roof and provided utility services for the more modern hospital buildings, according to newspaper accounts.  The chimney was razed in 2015.

Street cars run near enough to the infirmary to go far easily accessible from trains and boats. A most magnificent view of Lake Michigan may be had from the edifice and grounds, and the hospital is so situated equally to afford its patrons the purest and freshest of lake breezes, as well every bit a pleasant and restful view to the eye. The hospital contains thirty-vii private rooms and four wards, one being a children's ward. It was opened September 28, 1899, and the first year received 196 patients, near all of whom fabricated a thorough and permanent recovery. The building is of brick, and is of a pleasing style of architecture, finished inside in hardwood and oil. Information technology has high ceilings and perfect ventilation, having been constructed with special reference to hygiene, absolute cleanliness and purity in every respect. It is lighted by electricity and equipped with a splendid passenger elevator, electric bells, and all other conveniences commensurate with a perfect system."
