The "new" St. Mary's Hospital in 1898. In 1894, the Benedictine sisters of Duluth had plans drawn up for a proposed motherhouse and school to be built on property they owned at 5th Avenue East and Third street. The foundations were laid, but money was short and the project had to be abandoned. In 1897 Bishop McGolrick suggested that a hospital be built on that site. The building was completed in 1898 and the hospital moved from its West End location to the new site of St. Mary's Hospital.
