The first, built in the 1880s by the Sisters of Providence, burned in a 1915 fire. This second building (seen here), constructed in 1916, served as the main hospital building until a new facility was constructed in 1976. The resulting new complex of buildings is now called the Providence St. Mary Medical Center.
