The postcard pictured above left shows in late 1907 the old Simpson Hospital located at the corner of Oak Avenue and Fourth Street. The hospital only operated for about three months when, in early 1908, Dr. J. A. Simpson moved his family out of state. It is said that the building was built and served as headquarters for the Old English Company that built South Pittsburg during the first boom of the late 1870's. After serving as a hospital, it was owned by Bert Cook and family and was the childhood home of Catherine (Cook) Brown. It was later owned by Dr. & Mrs. William L. Headrick and was altered, pictured right in 2002, to the point that it little resembles its former self. A daughter of the Headricks is now living in the home.
