Summary
Standing on Pine Street between Eighth and Ninth, you are facing the front of Pennsylvania Hospital, the nation’s first hospital, founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1751. During the Civil War, this building was part of a much larger medical landscape that made Philadelphia a center for care and innovation, with soldiers arriving by rail from the battlefield and filling hospitals across the city. From massive military hospitals treating tens of thousands of wounded, to smaller facilities where doctors pioneered new approaches to surgery and trauma, Philadelphia became a place where lives were saved, medicine advanced, and the human cost of the war was confronted every day.
