This is looking SW up the hill at Macky from the plain by Boulder Creek. The Auditorium is unfinished as all the windows are missing. On pg. 217 of Glory Colorado it is reported that in 1911 Macky was standing "as a hollow shell, without doors and windows" and that by 1912 some parts of the building were in use. Macky seems to fit the 1911 description here. To the right of Macky one can see the railroad tracks. From the highest tower of Hale it looks as though a large radio antenna consisting of two wires separated by a bar swing downward to the left. In front of Macky is the nurses residence but the building called the isolation ward or pest house which was located between the hospital and the nurses home Is not present. The small cellar just north of the hospital is visible. Hospital laundry is drying on the line west of the hospital and the hospital has a large sloping ramp-like fire escape on Its north side. In front of Woodbury is a large vertical mast of a heavy crane. The boom of the crane can be seen sticking out of the trees at a 45° angle. This may have been for unloading stone for construction of Macky, although pictures of the early construction show a railroad siding immediately north of the building. To the right of the crane are a couple of low structures in the trees. It is hard to make out what they are. The east wing Is not on the hospital, the roof and dormers are not in the Woodbury roof.
