John Corby donated the land that St Joseph Hospital was originally built at 10th & Corby Streets
The 1st photo shows the hospital as it looked in 1897
The second photo shows what it looked like in the 1960's, it consumed an entire square block between 9th & 10th streets
The building was torn down at an unknown date. It remained a big empty lot for many years. Sometime after the turn of the century, the city turned the empty lot into a beautiful city park

DR. LAWRENCE PILGRAM
DENTISTRY


Located at 2403 Frederick Avenue, this building once housed
Dr. Lawrence Pilgram's Dentist Office
Dr. Pilgram was there from 1973 thru August of 1985

The dentists who took over the location after Dr. Pilgram were a young couple named Nelson. Mrs. Nelson may have been the daughter of Dr. Larry Jones, who owned the whole building. The Nelsons remodeled the building, knocking out a couple of walls, making it all part of the 2401 address complex.

Dr. Jones remained active there for a few years, finally turning the whole building over to the Nelsons. The owner prior to Dr. Pilgram was Dr. Peterson, a child specialist
