Supplemental information provided by NOAA:

The physicians house and dispensary was constructed in 1925, not 1929. The new hospital, separate from the dispensary, was completed in 1931 and joined by a modern addition in 1974. (Bower 1926, 142; Bower 1932, 76). In 1935, sod was placed around the dispensary and hospital [Old Health Clinic], and a walkway was placed between the dispensary and hospital (Bower, 1936, 49).
