Philadelphia General Hopsital in 1970

This photo from 1970, taken on the PGH grounds (foreground), shows the relationship of the public hospital to Convention Hall, which formed part of the Civic Center. Exhibition Hall (not in the photo), also part of the Civic Center, stood south of Convention Hall, opposite PGH on Civic Center Boulevard. At this point, PGH was seven years from the date of its closing.
