Despite subsequently serving as a charity retreat home, it was ultimately demolished in late 2015; the old hospital site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
[3] Boulder City's first hospital was built by Six Companies, the joint venture responsible for building Hoover Dam.
The hospital site was the top of Block 8, a hill on the northeast side of town originally reserved for a resort hotel.
The view from the hospital was magnificent: the Eldorado Valley and McCullough Mountains to the south, and to the north the Colorado River wound lazily through its bed.
The hospital was built of brick and white stucco, and the L-shaped building housed 20 beds and a special orthopedic ward.
The Pest House, an eight-bed isolation facility for contagious diseases, was maintained away from the main hospital building.
Six Companies employees were charged $1.50 per month health fee through payroll deduction which entitled them, but not their families, to services at Boulder City Hospital.
Town residents cleaned and repaired the second-hand x-ray machines, sterilizers, beds and other items that came from hospitals around the country.
The Sisters of Charity bought the building in 1976 and began renovation in 1980, turning the hospital into a retreat house known as Wellspring.
