The Faxton Hospital in Utica, New York, is the particular subject here, a hospital in a mid-sized upstate city that the record dates to somewhere between 1900 and 1915. The picture is a large 8 x 10 inch glass dry plate negative, made by the Detroit Publishing Company, a commercial firm that photographed American towns, landmarks and institutions for sale as views and postcards. Its large format gives the building's architecture and surroundings a level of detail that smaller negatives of the period often lacked. The negative reached the Library of Congress as a 1949 gift from the State Historical Society of Colorado.
