- Eureka 1910-1919 - (Part 10 of 12) -

“In July 1919 a meeting was called for citizens of Eureka at the court house for the purpose of considering a municipally owned hospital. The purchasers of the old Academy building will begin razing the building next week if steps are not taken at once to preserve it. If the city and county or the city alone will undertake to turn this fine property into a hospital the present owners will sell the property at cost. It is thought this building can be put in shape for hospital purposes for a few thousand dollars. The location is ideal for a hospital, and the institution would become a blessing to the entire county and counties adjoining.
