Hyden Hospital, Kentucky 1937

"Hyden Hospital, Kentucky" is a 1937 black and white photograph by Marvin Breckinridge Patterson, depicting a rural hospital nestled into the side of a hill in Kentucky. The image showcases a stark contrast between the natural setting and the built environment, with the hospital's white walls and simple structures standing out against the backdrop of the surrounding trees and hills. This photograph is a prime example of Patterson's photographic work, which often focused on the lives of rural Americans and the unique beauty of the American landscape.
