Three boys stand on a light wagon pulled by a burro in front of the Miners Union Hospital, 1315 Snowden Street, probably in 1912. From left are Myron Henry, Bill Gearry and Arthur Dreyer. The hospital building was only five years old at the time. Later this year its exterior will be restored in a $370,000 project funded by the State Historic Fund and the Department of Local Affairs.
