A patient ward at Maine General Hospital. Medical staff cared for patients in general care wards with few comforts and little privacy. Twenty iron beds lined each ward in two facing rows. Ample light came from the spacious windows, and flowers were allowed in the women's ward only.

Maine General Hospital is the predecessor of Maine Medical Center.
