EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1863, offers a unique glimpse into the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon hospital located at the southwest corner of Washington and Swanson Avenues in Philadelphia. The image captures both the interior and exterior views of this vital institution during the American Civil War. The exterior view reveals a grand, two-story red-brick building with large windows, adorned with American flags and a banner that reads "Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon." The hospital was strategically situated in the heart of the city to provide easy access to wounded soldiers being transported from the battlefields. Transitioning to the interior view, the photograph showcases a spacious, well-lit room filled with long tables and chairs, where soldiers are seen resting and recuperating. Nurses and medical personnel attend to their needs, while others engage in quiet conversation or play cards to pass the time. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the hospital is evident, providing a sense of comfort and relief for the weary soldiers. The Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon hospital played a crucial role in the care and support of Union soldiers during the Civil War. It served as a place not only for medical treatment but also for rest, nourishment, and camaraderie. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and the dedicated individuals who cared for them during this pivotal period in American history.
