GAMBLE BROTHERS AND ARCHER CLINIC

-A A +A
1940. 334 Arnold Ave.

This two-block complex was the heart of Greenville’s medical community for most of the twentieth century, and a generation of nurses trained here until 1954. The hospital and former nurses’ home ( pictured above), both designed by Memphis architects, employ to great effect Spanish Colonial Revival’s smooth stuccoed walls, tiled roofs, parapets, towers, diminutive iron balconies, and elaborate frontispieces, while the medical clinic adopts a minimalist version of the style. Most popular on the Gulf Coast in Mississippi, Spanish Colonial Revival also established a niche in the Delta, and smaller variations can be seen in residences around the neighborhood, including 427 S. Main Street (c. 1919) and 932 Arnold (c. 1935).
