Philadelphia › Attraction

Pennsylvania hospital historic tours.

The original Pennsylvania Hospital, like so much in civic Philadelphia, owes its presence to Benjamin Franklin. This was the first hospital in the Colonies, and it seemed like a strange venture into social welfare at the time. Samuel Rhoads, a fine architect in the Carpenters' Company, designed the Georgian headquarters. The east wing, nearest 8th Street, was completed in 1755, and a west wing matched it in 1797. The grand Center Building by David Evans completed the ensemble in 1804. Instead of a dome, the hospital decided on a surgical amphitheater skylight. In spring, the garden's azaleas brighten the neighborhood and are a popular spot for wedding photos. The beautifully designed herb garden (highlighting plants used as medicines in the 18th c.) is very popular.

Pennsylvania Hospital

America's oldest hospital. another of benjamin franklin's legacies..

It seems a trifle peculiar to send someone on a walking tour of a medical facility. But in the case of Pennsylvania Hospital, the oldest such institution in the land, history, architecture, and landscaping combine in making yet another of Benjamin Franklin's legacies a singular destination.

The indefatigable Franklin raised money to help found the hospital in 1751, in conjunction with Dr. Thomas Bond. When the United States declared independence from Great Britain, the hospital was already 25 years old. Franklin also served on the hospital's original Board of Managers, as well as being its first secretary and second president.

The hospital's original home was the Pine Building, still a section of the hospital, which was built in three sections over 50 years. The primary architect, Samuel Rhodes, a member of the Carpenters' Company, took his inspiration from the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.

Initially, the basement was used to house the insane (Pennsylvania Hospital being a pioneer in the humane treatment of the mentally ill). The first floor of the Pine Building was the men's ward; the second floor the women's ward; the third floor was reserved for servants and for isolation cases of both sexes.

The first floor of the center building features the Great Court, an antique fire pump, a Thomas Sully portrait of former Board president Samuel Coates, and the President's office. Inside the office one can see a chair owned by William Penn, a grandfather clock built by the noted astronomer-scientist David Rittenhouse, and a Thomas Eakins portrait of Dr. Jacob DaCosta.

The second floor of the center building houses a historic library whose beauty will make any bibliophile's heart beat faster. Upon stepping inside one feels transported into a rarefied atmosphere (the room is climate controlled) and into another era. First one's eyes fall upon the darkly patinaed bookcases enclosed with hand-blown glass panes which accent the over 13,000 medical tomes and herbal and horticultural volumes contained within. The collection includes many outstanding works in anatomy, surgery, internal medicine, national history, science, and botany.

Upstairs, a graceful catwalk girds the room. Cases featuring hospital memorabilia and temporary book exhibits are also featured. The only discordant note for the non-anatomist is in the form of three plaster casts of a uterine dissection, which were used to instruct the medical students.

Though the bibliophile might be tempted to read at the great room-sized table another remarkable room awaits right above. Outside the library, portraits of doctors bearing solemn countenances give the area an art museum atmosphere. Seek out the portrait of the Declaration signing, yellow-fever fighting Dr. Benjamin Rush also painted by Thomas Sully. Sully, after Charles Willson Peale, was the leading portraitist of his time, and his legacy lives on in his many works on display at the National Portrait Gallery.

Follow the large double staircase up to the Surgical Amphitheatre. Here, under a skylight, surrounded by rows of medical students above, surgical procedures were performed from 1804 to 1868. This period was prior to the antisepsis movement, and the hospital surgeons limited their procedures to amputations, extractions (tumor, stone, and cataract), and the repair of aneurysms and hernias. Hospital cofounder Dr. Thomas Bond performed the first lithotomy (stone extraction) in the 13 Colonies at the hospital on November 29, 1756.

To the left of the Amphitheatre, in the West Wing, is the Museum of Nursing History. Nursing uniforms, pins, caps, and other memorabilia are on display.

North of the Pine Building is the Gallery Pavilion, where one will find Benjamin West's extraordinary 1817 painting "Christ Healing the Sick in the Temple." The hospital asked West to donate one of his works. He executed a painting in London, but it proved so popular that West was forced to leave it there and paint a similar work. When the second painting was hung in Philadelphia, overflow crowds paid to view it.

Before leaving, tour the grounds on the Pine Street side of the hospital. While strolling through the gardens, stop to appreciate the fine merging of Georgian and Federal architecture. The rotunda will put one in mind of Jefferson's Monticello. An 18th Century statue of William Penn presides over the gracious setting. A well-tended "physic" (an early term for "medicine") garden features herbs that were once used for therapeutic purposes. Azaleas and wisteria encountered on your walk date to the last century.

The grounds also contain the unmarked grave of Mary Girard, the wife of Stephen, who was one of the richest men in the country when he died. Mary was committed to the hospital as a "lunatic" in 1790, gave birth to a daughter a year later, and was a patient here until 1815. Stephen Girard's endowments to the hospital were substantial.

Matt McCarty's well-played approach leads to birdie at Nationwide Children's

Noah Goodwin on his 5-under 66… “I really didn't make too many mistakes. I put myself in a few bad places like three times today, managed to make a really good par save pretty much every time. Big one was on No. 11, hit it in the left fairway bunker, chunked my bunker shot to like 50 yards, hit it up there to like three feet, tapped it in. We just had a really good game plan and we stuck to it. You don't need to make a million birdies out here, you just need to not make any bogeys and that's kind of what we tried to do all day and I was able to.”

Goodwin on his season ending at this event last year… “It sucked. It was the lowest I've been with golf before, but at the end of the day I just kind of had to look in the mirror and remind myself why I play this game, it's because I love the grind, I love the fight of it all, I love seeing how good I can get every single day out here and learning more about myself. Golf's a lot like life in a lot of ways, it never goes as planned and you just roll with the punches. I was able to do that. It had to be a pretty quick turnaround, so it was sadness for a moment and understanding that it wasn't the end of the road and I just needed to do what I do to get back to where I am and take it one day at a time at that point.”

Tano Goya on his opening round 5-under 66… “Yeah, I feel like obviously played great on the greens, putted great today and feel very comfortable on the greens. I think I managed to stay very in the present today. It's a tough course, greens are getting super firm and sometimes when you miss a green it can be very easy to make bogeys, but I managed to stay in the present to make a lot of good recoveries and great putts, so I'm very happy with it.”

Goya on staying present on the course … “I had my girlfriend on the bag again for three weeks and having her on the bag is great. We just chat and talk about whatever and she helps me a lot to stay present, staying focused. I don't get ahead of myself. It's easy sometimes when you're playing well, but today we did a great job.”

• Hank Lebioda (T6/-4), who enters the week No. 69 on the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour Points List, cards a 4-under 67 and holds his best 18-hole position of the season (previous; T8/Visit Knoxville Open/finished T14).
• Ventura is seeking a return to the PGA TOUR after earning his first card by finishing No. 4 on the 2019 Korn Ferry Tour Regular Season points list.
• Frankie Capan II (T8/-3), Cristobal Del Solar (T8/-3) and Kevin Roy (T8/-3), who are all #TOURBound and have secured their PGA TOUR cards for the 2025 season, stand at T8 and two strokes back of the lead.
• Korn Ferry Tour rookie Davis Shore (T14/-2), who is No. 81 on the points list, turns in a 2-under 69 with four birdies (Nos. 5, 12, 16, 18) against two bogeys (Nos. 6, 10) as he looks to move into the top 75 on the points list to earn a spot in the Korn Ferry Tour Championship.
• Cao and Solomon both entered the week outside the top 75 on the points list at No. 103 and No. 78, respectively.

Shooting victim drives self, other man to hospital, but too late for one of them

Gregory heard died after a double shooting along north 13th street in philadelphia's hunting park neighborhood early on sept. 17, 2024, by dan stamm • published september 17, 2024 • updated on september 19, 2024 at 2:12 pm.

One of two men shot early Tuesday in Philadelphia's Hunting Park neighborhood managed to drive the other to the hospital, but it was too late for one of them. Philadelphia police believe the two men could be family members.

Police officers rushed to the 3800 block of North 13th Street -- near West Butler Street -- just after midnight on Sept. 17, 2024, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

"It turned out it was a 48-year-old shooting victim who was shot twice in the abdomen and he drove himself and a second shooting victim -- a 41-year-old male -- to Temple Hospital," Small said.

The man who was shot twice in the abdomen was listed in stable condition at the hospital. The 41-year-old -- later identified by police as North Philadelphia's Gregory Heard -- died shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Police began to investigate along 13th Street. Small said they found evidence that at least three shots were fired and that witnesses said they heard anywhere from three to five shots fired.

Some family members told investigators that the shooting victims "may be related and they were here on the block visiting other family members," Small said.

Investigators hoped that numerous surveillance cameras on the block would help them track down the gunman. They called the motive for the shooting an argument.

Homicides are down about 40% in Philadelphia at this point in the year compared to 2023, according to Philadelphia Police data . However, at least 188 people have still been killed.

A $20,000 reward for info leading to an arrest and conviction is being offered in the case, as happens in all homicides in Philadelphia. Anyone with info is urged to contact Philadelphia police .

The tour also “will feature several single shows bringing the tour’s full production, with its massive in-the-round stage, to venues including two college football stadiums: JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York, on April 19, and Metallica’s first ever visit to Blacksburg, Virginia, home of the Virginia Tech Hokies. The May 7 show at Lane Stadium will mark the culmination of 20+ years of ‘Enter Sandman’ playing as the Hokies take the field.”

Support on the North American tour will come from Pantera, Limp Bizkit, Suicidal Tendencies and Ice Nine Kills.
