The Building Next Door

To take a break from my long visits to the hospital, I walk around the John Hopkins campus.

Right next to the Weingber building where Kim’s room is, are the old John Hopkins’ buildings, with one towering over the others. Kim was born in one of these buildings on February 1, 1947. At the time, Kim’s father was a professor of Latin American History at Goucher College in Baltimore, which at the time was an all-female school.

John Hopkins Hospital was completed in 1889 and was believed to be the largest medical center in the country at the time.
