Woodstock Hospital was moved from Clay Street to the Judge Theodore Murphy home at 527 W. South Street in 1915. This photo shows the Bentley Wing that was built in 1937 in front of the original building.
The name of the hospital was changed to Memorial Hospital after World War II.
L. L. Cook Co. printed this card after 1956 but the K. C. Kropp logo on the stamp area shows that Kropp (1907-1956) took the photo. The number is L-6.]]>

Although Paul R. Vogel Co. (1911-1940s) is printed on the back, the postage stamp area shows the EKC monogram of E. C. Kropp company (1907-1956.)
The lettering on the face of the postcard is very similar to the printing on the C & NW Railroad Station (ID 158) also by E. C. Kropp and probably the photo was taken at the same time period.
The traffic sign reads U. S. Route 14. In 1961, the bypass was completed and the signs changed to Business 14.]]>

Corner of Jackson & Throop
Listed as First Baptist Church in the 1914 City Directory
101 N. Throop now is on this location
"The present Baptist church was erected in 1866, being located at the corner of Jackson and Throop streets. It is a frame structure with a seating capacity of about 250, with prayer rooms in the rear, and cost about $7,000. It has been vastly improved in recent years, and the payment of the last obligation in 1927 was celebrated by a happy gathering of the membership. The steeple was blown off during a severe wind and thunder storm many years ago." [Woodstock Sentinel 3-13-1937 Sec 1 p 4]
