Welcome to St. Joseph's Hospital |
|
In 1920, the Sisters of the Pallottine Missionary Society were invited to open a hospital in Buckhannon, West Virginia. Four Sisters followed the call and on February 15, 1921, purchased the beautiful Barlow estate on a hill above the town. Owned by Charles and Mary Barlow, "The Overlook" consisted of a four-story wood building faced with yellow brick on nine acres of land. The rather large private home was converted into an eight-bed hospital and convent for the Sisters with the help of good friends and benefactors. |
