The buildings of the hospital consist of a central or administration building, two separate wards, one for men and one for women, and a separate building for the care of cases of contagious disease.
The hospital was opened for the reception of patients in 1886, and since that time nearly 3000 sick persons have been cared for within its wards.
When full the hospital has accommodations for fifty patients.
The buildings and land have cost more than $100,000.
The annual cost for maintenance of the establishment has been for the past few years nearly $20,000, a sum of money considerably beyond the income of the invested funds of the institution; the deficit is made good by the gifts of the people of Cambridge.
