East Hill: Tower East: Old Sacred Heart HospitalThe city's first modern hospital, Pensacola Hospital, was located on 12th Avenue. It was built by the Daughters of Charity for $400,000.00 and opened in September of 1915 as the first Catholic hospital in Florida. The old hospital building is an example of the late 19th century revival of the Romanesque architecture in the Gothic Revival style. The building was designed by A.O. Vob Herbulis. The style was used for schools, post offices and commercial and federal buildings across the country. The structure is both a medical and architectural landmark. With this facility, Pensacola had the first surgical, radiological, bacterial, and theraputical facilities in Florida. In 1965, the hospital moved its operations and a private school used the building from 1969 through 1978.
