401 Summit Street

An impressive new structure finished in 1912, the Congressional Hospital has a capacity of fifty beds. Especially serious cases, or those requiring specialized facilities, are sometimes referred to Arkham or Boston hospitals as seems best. Many local physicians and surgeons make use of the hospital facilities.

The ground floor includes emergency/surgical facilities, a small lab, an admitting office, examination rooms, and a kitchen and cafeteria. The two upper floors are given over to patient wards and a few semi-private and private rooms. The basement includes a boiler room, a laundry, storage facilities for maintenance and housekeeping, and a second (locked) storage room occasionally used as a temporary morgue.

A chronically troublesome elevator connects all levels of the hospital.
