This postcard packet from the early 1900s includes nine photographs of Christ Hospital in Topeka, Kansas. Most are photos of the hospital's buildings and grounds, but also included is a group picture of nurses enrolled in the training school. Christ Hospital was founded by Thomas H. Vail and his wife in the 1880s; Vail was the first Episcopal bishop in Kansas. The hospital grounds were located west of Washburn Avenue between 8th and 10th streets. In 1949, Christ Hospital merged with the Jane C. Stormont Hospital and Training School for Nurses, and became known as Stormont-Vail.
