more to come ! |

| Beck Diagnostic Center St. Paul and 24th Street I've found references to Beck's with addresses listed in both the 2400 and 2500 block of St Paul Streets. If my memory serves me right, the building is still there, although now used as offices, and is at the corner of 23th and St Paul Street. Current photo to the right . |

| Johns Hopkins Hospital 600 North Broadway One of Baltimore's biggest employers ( if not the largest ) , Hopkins Hospital is one of the world's finest hospitals. These old postcards show the complex in the early years. The Hospital has grown quite a bit over the years, and continues to this day to expand. To the right and below are several old postcards of the Hopkins Complex, which has changed a lot over the years. The name of the Hospital and University is Johns Hopkins and not John Hopkins. Two of the postcards have typos listing it as John Hopkins, Opps ! Another added a ' to John's, still not correct. |
