This Pueblo Revival house is located across the street from the site of the former Fitzgerald Hospital. Though a private residence today, it served as a dormitory for student nurses from the 1930s through the early 1960s.
Student Nurse Dormitory, Fitzgerald
There are a couple of these in Claxton. They’re in very good condition.
It was for nursing students I lived there for a year. Miss Katie Young was our house mother
Nursing students were still living there when I worked at Ben Hill County Hospital in 1962. Many a great nurse went through this program.
There is a house similar to this on Dogwood Drive in Nashville, GA
Visit Utopia Ga in Berrien County just north of there.
I spoke with you sometime back in regards to the tobacco barn on R E Young RD. Furthermore, I told you about more info on Gaskins Springs. That info can be retrieved from the camp’s web-page. If you need me, feel free!
