Minor Private Hospital was founded in January 1906, and a two-story, brick hospital building constructed at 1420 Spring Street in Seattle's First Hill neighborhood. In September 1906, a school for nurses was established at Minor Hospital, with a three-year course of training. Minor Private Hospital closed in 1928, and the last nursing school class graduated in 1930. The nurses later organized the Minor Hospital Alumnae Association, and the Seattle group continued to meet into the 1950s, hosting events such as banquets and holiday parties. In 1948, the Association began compiling a memoir scrapbook for presentation to the Seattle Historical Society, now the Museum of History &amp; Industry.
<p>This page from the "Memoirs of Minor Hospital Alumnae" scrapbook, compiled by nursing school alumnae around 1950, has photographs of the exterior of Minor Private Hospital, and the exterior of the nurses' residence on the southeast corner of Seneca and Boylston Streets. Both photographs were taken in 1913 and include handwritten captions. The scrapbook page is attributed to  Mary Jolliete "Jolly" Glen, a member of the nursing school Class of 1913.
