 thumbnail East Hill: Tower East: Old Sacred Heart Hospital

Pensacola Hospital, now known as the historic Sacred Heart Hospital, opened in September 1915 as the first Catholic hospital in Florida. The Daughters of Charity, a religious order dating back to 1633, invested over $400,000.00 into building and opening this facility. Evans Brothers Construction, of Birmingham, Alabama, took one year to build this late Gothic Revival building for the Daughters to provide the residents of Pensacola with better health care.
