The picture shows the Miners Hospital in Welch, West Virginia, a red-brick complex with a three-story central block and long one-story wings, set on a grassy lawn with trees and a wooded hillside behind. The printed caption names it directly. Welch was a coal-mining center in McDowell County, and the hospital served the mining communities of southern West Virginia in the early twentieth century.
