Description

Jumbo postcard showing what was then called the
MARINE HOSPITAL
in Norfolk Va.  (Became a Public Health hospital.  See below.)
Measures 7" by 9".  Unposted black and white photo print.
Likely from the 1940s or 1950s.  (No zip code.)
Divided back.  Published by the Jumbo Post Card Co. of Chicago.
Distributed by Nowitsky News in Norfolk.  (In business in 1916, but I couldn't find info about its history.)
From the Norfolk Public Library:
In 1912, all US Marine Hospitals were consolidated under the US Public Health Service, and a new hospital was built on Hampton Boulevard in 1922. The hospital's clientele included seamen of all kinds -- fishermen, crewmen of tankers and container ships, Coast Guard members, foreign sailors and merchant marines. In 1982, citing "under-utilization," the hospital was closed, and the US Navy acquired the property.
Quite nice condition with minor edgewear.
Will be carefully wrapped and packed with a stiffener.
