St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, Waverly, Iowa. Abraham Slimmer gave his mansion (built in 1878) to the Sisters of Mercy to open as a hospital for the community in 1904. The original house with its two open porches is shown in this 1909 postcard photo with a wing at the right that the sisters added before its opening.
