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 porches is shown in this 1912 postcard photo with a wing at the right that the sisters added before its opening. In this photo, the porches have been screened.
