Description
Pictured here is the Iva Harpster Home for Nurses. There are seven nurses outside of the house wearing white dresses, the traditional nursing uniform for this time. Housing for nurses was a common practice at the turn of the century, similar to the one that was built in 1897 on Seguine Avenue across from Richmond Memorial Hospital.
