Scope and content

Photograph, taken on Tuesday, February 7, 1928, showing the crowd at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new veterans hospital on Marquam Hill in Portland. At center right is veteran Cyril G. Manning, who performed the groundbreaking. At center left is an unidentified man holding a shovel. A story about the ceremony was published on Page 6 of the Oregon Journal on Wednesday, February 8, 1928, under the headline “Disabled Veteran Turns First Earth on Site of Jackson Park Hospital.” The story reported that Manning’s hip had been shattered by gunfire during World War I, and that his older brother had been killed in the war. The story also reported that the land for the hospital “was donated to the state of Oregon for the University of Oregon medical school by Mrs. C. S. Jackson and Philip L. Jackson as a memorial to the late publisher of The Journal. From the area, 25 acres were donated to the government by the regents of the medical school.” See related image Nos. 371N3011, 371N3012, 371N3013, 371N3015, and 371N3016.
