1. Original Site of Ellsworth Municipal Hospital Marker
With a staff of four nurses, Ellsworth Municipal Hospital opened on this site September 25, 1902 after E.S. Ellsworth donated $14,000 for the construction of the original 3-story wooden structure. Later, bonds and grants financed a new brick building which formally opened in October 1936. Using money bequeathed in her will, the Maude Repp wing was opened in May 1964 and the 1936 building was remodeled. Another addition was built in 1982 when the 1936 structure was demolished. In 1999 a generous donation from the estate of Bert and Nettie Boddy enabled a final renovation and the addition of a professional clinic. The Ellsworth Municipal Hospital building was vacated in 2014 and then converted to Ellsworth Estates.
