T. and P. Hospital, Marshall, Texas

Color tinted halftone postcard of the Texas & Pacific Railway Hospital, in Marshall, Texas. The image was probably taken not long after the building was opened in 1928, but this card was probably printed in the 1930s, based on the linen style paper.

The building is a long horizontal two-story structure with a slightly projecting entrance section. Three automobiles are parked on the drive.
