Harvey Hospital
On this city block stood, during the Civil War, Harvey Hospital, and later the Wisconsin Soldiers' Orphans' Home, both established through the influence of Mrs. Cordelia P. Harvey, whose honored husband, Governor Louis R. Harvey, had, April 19, 1862, been accidentally drowned in Tennessee River, near Pittsburgh Landing, Tenn., where, after the Battle of Shiloh, he went with supplies for the comfort of sick and wounded Wisconsin soldiers.
Marker is at the intersection of South Brearly Street and Spaight Street, on the right when traveling south on South Brearly Street.
