Abstract
Description
Built by Mayor Frank Hague, The Jersey City Medical Center are Art Deco-style buildings, perched on the fourteen-acre site at the Palisade Cliffs, grace the Jersey City skyline and are the city's most recognizable landmarks. Completed in 1941, the Medical Center became the third-largest health care facility in the world. Among ten brick and terra cotta buildings, ranging from fifteen to twenty-three stories high, were the Medical Center Hospital, Pollak Chest Diseases Hospital, Murdoch Hall, and Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital.
Today these buildings serve as complex for rental and condominium apartments. The new name is the Beacon.
