The Parkland Building During Construction

A handcrafted picture of the Parkland Building was done by Lillian Schidlof, a former staff member, for our Centennial Celebrations.

The Valleyview Building, built in 1925 and formerly called the Psychiatric Institute. It was the admission building where incoming patients were admitted on the first level and, hopefully, when they reached the third floor they would be discharged. |

All visitors to BMHC had to sign this register so that the hospital had a record of patients who had visitors and who they were. |
Displayed here are a number of pictures showing the beauty parlor (the first of its kind in Canada) and the Mental Health Industries store where articles made at the hospital were sold. Also shown are gardens planted by Stan Edwards at Norwood Gardens. The lamp post is one of the original pair which used to grace the front of the Parkland Building. |
A collection of old office equipment such as typewriter, adding machine, dictaphone, hospital seal, old pens and ink wells. |
The original switchboard that stood in Parkland Building. The evening and night supervisors made a point of relieving the operator for coffee breaks. |
Graduation pictures were taken of every class from the first graduation exercises in 1923.

Archives: Yearbooks and Reference Journals. A number of nursing classes had yearbooks published ~ interesting to look for someone you knew who graduated from the hospital. |
