Abstract:
These photographs were taken while DiSandro was in nursing school at Episcopal Hospital in Philadelphia. Included are exterior views of the Episcopal grounds; interior views of an operating room, chapel, and nurses residence (completed in 1900); group portraits of nurses and residents; and a formal portrait of DiSandro. Also included are some random photographs of group activities.

DiSandro, born in 1902, studied nursing at the Hospital of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia (Episcopal Hospital) from 1924 to 1927. This hospital was founded in 1851 and its nursing school was started in 1888.

This collection of 29 images has been arranged into one series with photographs grouped under several general categories: individual and/or groups portraits and buildings in interior and/or exterior settings.
